Thank you Ubisoft!

- 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.
- And near monopoly.
- It's the best game store for the paying customer on Linux by a long shot
- True
- You can roll back to previous versions

All moot points to me personally

never knew Stray was made by a ex-ubisoft employee

Meanwhile Ubisoft itself continues to pump out digital slop

AC Odyssey
Immortals Fenix Rising
Mario x Rabbids games

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

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?

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.

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.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Ubisoft has been releasing games half-assed over the last 10ish years also, they turned Rainbow 6 Siege from a $60 first-person shooter with lootboxes into a free-to-play with “Premium” membership.
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.
