Reason for this meme is that some ubisoft titles are shipped with a broken version of ubisoft connect launcher. Installing these games is only possible by running the installer for the launcher again via protontricks.

Really? Ubisoft though? If there's any game studio I could do without, it would be Ubi. Because of their practices I haven't bought a game from them in years and years, and honestly it's not even been a challenge to pass them up.

There's so much attempted shaming in these comments. People like some of their games and some like them a lot. Even if you don't feel like they're the best, Original and Odyssey still carry the attachment people have for Assassin's Creed and Anno 1800 has no real direct comparable alternatives.

Stop trying to make people feel bad for just wanting to enjoy something they like when they are the victim of these companies trying to make their life harder. The fact that Ubisoft treats their customers like trash isn't something to rub in someone's face, it's too bad that some people's hobbies are locked behind something like that.

Nothing I said was an attempt to make people feel bad. I'm rubbishing Ubisoft's games and practices: expressing an opinion. If that makes you feel bad then I suggest you look inward.

I'm sorry, but "Really? Ubisoft though?" is not just rubbishing Ubisofts practices. It's condescending to OP.

The fact that just because I criticized your choice of words makes you assume that it's in defense of my own tastes is unreasonable too. Is there not a chance someone might sympathise with someone without sitting in the same exact boat as them?

Point is, many people would feel bad about being approached the way you did and it is not exactly unreasonable to think that they would.
