Holy title gore, Batman.
But anyway, hooray.
Edit: We just wanted to deny that we're not not going to do the thing at said we wouldn't not be able to do.
I thought Ubisoft was upset that it was compatible with the Steam Deck.
Lmao. They're really desperate for this one to go over well, huh?
On the one hand, I like the AC franchise, and I used to like Ubisoft and some of the games they put out.
On the other, I really want to see an entertaining crash and burn. Like, full-blown disastrous launch that bankrupts the company -- so they can "get comfortable with not owning" their studios.
Hell yea! Going on my steam deck when the price drops.
The article says that it wasn't going to be supported due to system specs (tbh, I had assumed that they would be using some goddawful kernel based drm monstrosity), so it could just be that the programmer has finally received their copy of 'Code optimisation for dummies'.
The ammount of pivoting and last minute changes in this devlopment. Hopefully this will lead to them sorting out how Uplay behaves in Steam-proton.
