    Have they stopped using their launcher? The only way I will ever play an Ubisoft game is if they ditch that jank ass launcher.

      I’m legitimately wondering what’s so incredibly bad about the Ubi launcher that people hate it so much?

      I’m not a fan of each brand having their own thing, I’d rather have everything in my Steam library or some other universal launcher (not GOG).

      But I never had issues with Ubi’s launchers, despite having played a lot of Ubi games on there.

        Anything that isn’t Steam works like shit on Linux (mileage may vary, but that’s my experience). I find it hilarious and sad that I can get a better experience by pirating it and launch through Lutris.

          That’s another thing I always wondered about, gaming on Linux.

          I always thought of Linux of a tweaker/programmer kind of platform that isn’t much into gaming. Much like Apple being for creatives, music and Adobe. Even though all that runs fine on Windows too. That gaming on either is an entirely optional at-your-own-risk kind of deal, since a lot of games don’t support Linux/Mac natively anyway.

          If one wants to play games a lot, why not simply get a Windows PC? Or a console for that matter.

          No offense, but I always felt like wanting to game on Linux or Mac is just handicapping oneself.

            because windows is doing everything in their power to ruin their OS with privacy violations and ads. I would switch to Linux yesterday if my favorite games worked on it.
