Ubisoft Says That XDefiant Has Fallen Behind Expectations

Have they stopped using their launcher? The only way I will ever play an Ubisoft game is if they ditch that jank ass launcher.
-
I'm legitimately wondering what's so incredibly bad about the Ubi launcher that people hate it so much?
I'm not a fan of each brand having their own thing, I'd rather have everything in my Steam library or some other universal launcher (not GOG).
But I never had issues with Ubi's launchers, despite having played a lot of Ubi games on there.
-
Anything that isn't Steam works like shit on Linux (mileage may vary, but that's my experience). I find it hilarious and sad that I can get a better experience by pirating it and launch through Lutris.
-
The Lutris launcher has helped me successfully play purchased Ubisoft games well. It sucks to rely on third party tools, but that's much of what Linux is based around.
-
That's another thing I always wondered about, gaming on Linux.
I always thought of Linux of a tweaker/programmer kind of platform that isn't much into gaming. Much like Apple being for creatives, music and Adobe. Even though all that runs fine on Windows too. That gaming on either is an entirely optional at-your-own-risk kind of deal, since a lot of games don't support Linux/Mac natively anyway.
If one wants to play games a lot, why not simply get a Windows PC? Or a console for that matter.
No offense, but I always felt like wanting to game on Linux or Mac is just handicapping oneself.
-
because windows is doing everything in their power to ruin their OS with privacy violations and ads. I would switch to Linux yesterday if my favorite games worked on it.
-
If everything ran just as well as it would on Windows I would switch too. But I think that will be a long time off, even if developers decided to natively develop for Linux. It seems better than like a decade ago, but development and support is really slow.
That said, I've been using W11 for a couple of years and I haven't run into any ads in my day-to-day office and home computers, I've seen others mention ads in Windows too, but I'm not sure where they are. And you could just use a fake e-mail and name for a Microsoft account if you need one for a Windows installation.
I'm not saying everyone should use Windows, but choosing gaming on Linux seems like it's just people making it very difficult for themselves. Last time I ever tried it was a long time ago, but there were constant hardware issues, driver issues, game crashes and other problems that I could just not be bothered.

Ubi's launcher and EA app, are the only ones that keep forgetting my login info, forcing me to painstakingly go to my email to authorize this brand new device (my own PC) every few weeks.
-
I remember both doing the same for me a long time ago. But I've not had the issue since their new launchers dropped I believe.

Why not GOG?
-
I'd just prefer a platform that isn't also another store. But I'm unsure if those exist.
