I love EA! I love buying a game from them and not being able to play it after an update even though the game is steam deck verified! What a wonderful company! They never make any anti-consumer decisions whatsoever. No sir.

i tried downloading an older version of the game but still no luck

I'm always on the side of the consumer having access to the product they bought, It's hilarious how people can try to hold me accountable for wanting to be able to access a game I bought like I could before on my respective platform

[Dwarven Miner #1]

It was verified before. And no, this is not my fault at all, EA doesn't have a right to revoke my access to a game just because. Million dollar companies already find excuses to fuck their customers over.

just checked its not verified, quite frankly that's just your fault
