Personnally, what I'd like to see them do is an optimized version of a SteamLink handheld with a 7" or 8" screen. Could even be Android based, making it more multi purpose.

Quoting: etonbearsThe presenter's early comments suggest Ubisoft may be thinking of swapping PC support for Streaming services support.

If I get it right and following this logic, may happen the day when streaming is the only way to go?

Quoting: Ehvis

Quoting: MohandevirJust thinking about it... It's probably related to UPlay stuff? Ya know... No UPlay on Stadia but UPlay on Desktop... And no Linux version of UPlay so no Linux version of Assassin's Creed...

The version they made is likely unsuitable for normal use in more ways than just uplay. Think display output (the new Vulkan extensions) and control input handling for instance. Probably also differences with how it stores progress. So even though the biggest component was made to run on Linux, it's not everything that's needed for Steam. And I don't expect them to "bother" with it for less than a percent. It's simply not in the nature of the big publishers.

Which comes too... No matter the size of the task, just the fact that there is an hurdle, they won't bother, hence SteamPlay.

Quoting: ShmerlGood points there about how they were bitten by too much reliance on HLSL and MS tools. And of course, despite releasing it for Stadia, there is still no desktop Linux version.

What is sad is the fact that Assassin's Creed: Odyssey is available on Steam. Why not release it then? Must not be that much work...

Reviews seem to pretend that it's more arcade style than Dirt Rally and I think it might be a good thing. It's probably more realistic than that, but personnally, I miss a game like Dirt: Showdown.

Quoting: TheRiddickI think there are linux exclusive games available. Seems people only get upset when its hugely anticipated title, otherwise they just couldn't gaf...

??? Please be more specific. I don't get your point. There are way much more Windows exclusives and we are note upstet about that either. That's not the problem...

Does the fact that CrossOver now integrates Wine 4.0 means that Proton is near from getting it too? Isn't Proton CrossOver based?

Did Epic ever contributed to open source in any form? The day I see Epic contribute patches to gpu drivers or other gaming related stuff (not related directly to their Unreal engine), I might change my point of view. For the moment and unless I missed something, I have absolutely no trust in that company. They take what they feel is good for them and give nothing in return.

They already did too many shady stuff and I'm not only talking about the exclusives deals.
