If it does not become a "just works" experience, it will fail over time.

You can't really blame Linux for this. If a game was updated and it stopped working on windows, would you respond "Windows will fail if it doesn't become a just works experience"? No. You'd say the game devs need to test their game more and fix it.

My point here is that we shouldn't be so quick to blame Linux, it's perfectly possible the game is doing something weird which is breaking the compatibility. The fact is, this was just working, but the devs updated it, which has broken it.

We're not physic and we don't have access to the next update, so we can't "fix it" before it's released. Only the game devs could do that.

It seems to me that he wasn't blaming Linux, but blaming Steam Deck - which to be fair, is the buggiest game system I've ever played on a whole host of fronts.

My post was not about blaming. It was just describing a situation.
The average person buying a Steamdeck wants games to just work.

They do not care if Valve, Linux, the devs or whom ever makes it work. They pay money and want a fun experience. And I hope, that this is what Valve can achieve.
And I am a bit worried, that they can not achieve that and that would make the Deck fail. That would also be very bad for Linux gaming.

Where did I blame Linux?

I hope for a similar message to God of War Ragnarök.

Is the game worth it?
I heard so much about a lot of boring and repetitive tasks in an impressive and nice open world.
But the most important thing to me is an interesting story and characters. And I have not so much trust in Ubisoft.

If you want to see everything it has to offer, especially if you've explored a lot of your world, you will likely need to start on a new map to get the Mistlands to generate.

Ah damn - who has that much time?
Anyways, I will try a new start I think. But it is a bit annoying, that I have to.

Quoting: KohlyKohlPayPal in the US has this popup. Like others have said, I didn't notice this either because the store on the Deck is a terrible user experience, so I only use my Desktop to buy from there.

How weird. The Decks purpose is to bring people to buy games at the valve store.

According to the reviews I saw, the game is very beautiful but also boring and the story not well made.
Senseless quests and boredom in a beautiful environment does not make me wanting to buy it.

Another possible explanation would be, that the demand is less then they thought.
