Thank you Ubisoft!

And near monopoly.
Can you really call it a monopoly when the competition keeps shooting itself in the foot?
Yes, you will find plenty of people that refuse to use anything other than steam
-
- It's the best game store for the paying customer on Linux by a long shot
- True
- You can roll back to previous versions
- See #1
1 would be true if the store didn’t include the launcher

I don’t refuse to use other clients, if said clients are usable

Then do you think you are included in the valve fanboy group?

- Shitty Linux client with unfixed usability bugs for years.
- Can't play games without that shit client and the built-in webbrowser running, even over Lutris (because DRM).
- Forced updates.

Doesnt even apply to other games either, just about every game ive attempted to run on steam has worked brilliantly, only issues being games with certain anticheats. Whereas other launchers like epic take 5 years to load and I couldn't get the games to even run. Gog doesnt have Linux support, however has worked somewhat well for me in the past once lutris got it working.

Anno games
AC Odyssey
Immortals Fenix Rising
Mario x Rabbids games
Prince of Persia TLC
Rocksmith is great for learning guitar
AC Odyssey is 7 years old though. I don't know any of the other titles, but I suspect they are not exactly recent either.

Stray is such an amazing game. Real work of art. I love how we discover more and more of the story of this world.
I can't wait to play Expedition 33.

Mario/Rabbids is the game nobody asked for or expected anything from, and it turned out great. Instead of just a knockoff silly minions game, it was an amazing XCOM-lite with fun environments and suprisingly-deep tactical gameplay.

Real talk. Ubisoft in general have made some great games. Their current business model is to pump out repeats of things that worked, and so earn our scorn for them 'as of right now'.
Who played AC 1 and didn't want more. That we're now up to AC 76 doesn't diminish that they made something fun before they beat it to death.
Even their primary accomplishment of making every open-world game follow their formula of '1000 sidequests, item hunts and mini-puzzles' doesn't detract from the fact that those were really fun the first few times.
I wish the best to all the ex-Ubisoft developers. Go make cool shit without the $business oversight$. In an ideal world, the publisher should be there to cover the gaps when a new concept falls flat, not to force developers to keep doing the same profitable thing and otherwise stifle innovation.

Ever notice how the best games out there are either indie games or made by ex-devs formerly from a big developer?
Capitalism does away with ingenuity and creativity. Look at the biggest developers, like Ubisoft or Activision or EA, and their most flagship product(s), and you'll see that none of them are inventive in any way, they're all just regurgitated forms of whatever sells.

Also neglect & ban Linux/SteamOS users who want to play their games.
This post shows that Ubisoft devs have real potential if they aren’t constrained by corporate greed and bureaucrats.
All in all, fuck Ubisoft.

It's a sarcastic thank, like thank you for firing them, or thank you for driving them away from AAA studios.
Like thanking that dude for breaking up with Adele since her breakout album was basically a breakup album. If you're into Adele. Lol

Ubisoft is the sexual abuse place right?
...or is that Activision Blizzard?
...or Rockstar Games?
...mmm, Riot maybe?

The unfortunate truth is there are likely a lot of very talented developers at most big studios who ultimately don't have a say on what goes into the game.
Many don't turn around and try making a start-up game though, most just burn out of the industry forever.

I think a big reason for this is because they need to have some kinda airtight clandestine OPSEC if they want to work on anything themselves that they plan to show anybody.
It's been common practice for AAA's to say "Anything you make while you're employed here at all is ours." Sometimes even if you're not AT the studio when you do it.
They just simply assume entitlement to your creativity.
So, quit and make that indie darling, right? But then you need a financial "runway" set up, which sets a hard time limit on production and adds a ton of stress, and you'd better hope it sells well enough to make back the lost income.
The indie successes we've seen are nothing short of extraordinary, but also a textbook example of survivorship bias in action. For every success, there's a million projects that never got off the ground, much less sold successfully.
Facing all this...I celebrate the efforts that beat the odds, and love genuinely good games that simply didn't sell enough to keep the ball rolling.
But I don't fault anybody for just going into something more stable before burnout hits, and they would be destroyed from the inside out.

Neglect, Thats almost every studio on the planet, linux gaming is being held up by steam through proton. Tell me more about the banning end of that comment though?
