Install a Chromium-based browser (e.g. Brave) using Wine (I did it using Bottles), and you should be able to stream in 1080p.

How To Install & Use the EA App on Linux - Lutris Installation Method (2023)
For those using Bottles instead of Lutris, the installer for EA App there also Just Works™. Just last month I was playing Star Wars Squadrons there without any issue.
- I can't install WINE

My Wine is giving me an error on most applications.
With Bottles they worked. I put the exe and dll in ~/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/bottles/[xxx]/drive_c/users/[xxx]/downloads/.

Safely running malicious 2000s games on linux
As long as you run them sandboxed, e.g. using Bottles via Flatpak, or maybe even Firejail, it's just very unlikely they will affect your system.

Supermium – Chromium fork for Win 2003 and newer
If that's a concern for you, there are themes for GTK3 and GTK4 that replicate classic 3D widgets and remove much of the excess padding in modern apps. https://github.com/B00merang-Project/Windows-95 https://github.com/grassmunk/Chicago95 (You should install both; Chicago95 is more actively developed, but B00merang gives you a GTK+4 theme that's currently missing from Chicago95.) Works reasonably well as a daily-driver, giving you a similar look to the modern SerenityOS GUI on a standard Linux system. Even the modern GTK+4 "responsive" apps work as designed, with some non-critical graphical quirks.

OS/2 Warp, PowerPC Edition
I bloody want my Linux and apps on it to look like this or something of this flavour. Most retro themes are poor quality shams (Chicago95[1] is the only good one, yet still not perfect). I feel like I would gladly pay serious money for a really high quality conversion of all the parts, including themes for all widget libraries and no quirks.
