Ubisoft needs to get comfortable with fucking off with their launcher bullshit or I will never ever buy their games again

There are games from EA and Ubisoft that I'm interested in playing, but I've had such a poor experience with their games on my Steamdeck that I'd rather just play something else.

Say what you will about Blizzard, but I appreciate them for not shoving an additional launcher inbetween Steam and their games.

Which Blizzard games can you play on Steam Deck? I have the same issue with Ubi games on my Deck

Diablo IV is the only one that I've tried -- it's verified for Steamdeck and runs quite well. I'm not sure if that scales well with bigger mobs, but I can confirm early on at least its performance is great.
