WTF? Those specs aren’t even good enough for QHD for any semi demanding game!

Considering the increase in price, that turned out to be a very good deal. 👍

Isn’t that more than 50% extra compared to when the OLED version came out, I think it was 2023?

Wow a AAA game that is praised by users for being actually good.

The market they are missing out on is growing. If 4 friends decide to play a game, and 1 has Linux, those 4 will not play a Ubisoft game.
So even if Linux is only about 3%, it could hypothetically mean 12% lower playtime on their games, and that will reflect in lower future sales. Where people will prefer to buy games they play more.

Sounds pretty stupid if you don’t know which platforms you want to target from the beginning.
If development really is that random and poorly planned, they are making extra work for themselves due to poor planning more than because they chose to support the Steam deck.

Of course it is, but it’s just the focus on how the UI is made that has changed, that does not inherently make it harder. It just changes some of the design goals.

I have fucking made UI’s from scratch in assembly on a pixel basis, that were better than a lot of the crap we see today.

No it’s not the hard work, it is about working differently.

Wush!
Way to completely miss the message. Which include how user interfaces need to be usable on the small screen, and to make optimizations for lower end hardware and not just focus on mid range and high end.

The exception being that if you make a very high end complex game, it may be better to not support Steam Deck at all, because if it doesn’t play well, it shouldn’t pretend to work.

Well my brain only working at idle power, when I saw prototype I thought it was something new, not released yet.

This is a 6 year old early protype for the original steam deck.
Saved you a click.

Those joysticks were very popular in the late 80’s for the Amiga (Atari standard plug). Very high quality switches and good accurate control.
