Activision doesn't have it's own quasi-monopoly on the desktop that it could abuse to cripple competitors though ;)

Good thing!
If we don't need one thing, then it is a gaming-monoply in microsoft hands...even more so than it wouldn't be a good thing wiht any other comapny to have such an influence.

Quoting: GuestEsp with Microsoft, I think it's apparent they're in the Good Guy state right now for positive press and getting gamers to side with them,
And i'm shocked how many people fall for that and praise MS and the game pass...i hate the term 'sheeple', but it rarely fits better...

Quoting: ben-greenI'm thinking it'll work well on Linux with those all AMD parts.
Pretty sure it will. I wouldn't want to support MS with 10% of the Unitprice though ;)

Big Ambitions drops Native Linux support shortly after the Steam release

Not great - but as the explicitly said they will make sure it is tested on proton, i'm halfway fine with that. A properly supported proton is better than a half-assed, barely working native port imho.
