'Why do this when EA Games already install OriginThinSetup.' This is specifically for games that aren't on Steam, in this case NFS The Run.For me, everything else I play is in Steam, it works fine and I just wanted to add this one non-Steam game. I personally haven't looked into Lutris, but have only heard good things about it. 'Why not just use Lutris?' No reason except that I just like using Steam as the launcher for this lounge-room based, controller-only gaming machine.Update: since posting this article there's a been some discussion on Reddit about why this is necessary: Since this was the first time I'd tried a non-Steam game under Proton I knew there'd be some tinkering around but I got it working in the end. The Run isn't listed on ProtonDB so there was a chance it wouldn't be playable but at just $5 there wasn't much to lose. When I saw the PC version on sale I couldn't resist grabbing a copy to see if I could get it to work on my new Linux gaming machine (which I wrote about here).

One of my favourite PS3 games was Need for Speed: The Run.
