Yeah this is why Ubisoft is hidden from my Steam store. I mean in addition to requiring a third party launcher and account and utilizing Denuvo on every game.
I don’t bother with Steam games that use third party launchers. Too much of a hassle on Linux. I learned that the hard way a few years ago when I grabbed Titanfall 2, after people insisted that it ran well in Linux.
But that’s mostly old titles or not developed at the core Ubisoft teams. It is safe to just block Ubisoft, but wanted to point out, here and there are a few little games that do not have this bullshit. I’ve gun through their catalog a bit, and its depressing.

The thing is, not every Ubisoft published games has these requirements (according to the Steam page, this is not an exhaustive list):

Well AC1 and PoP make sense on this list, since they’re already DRM-Free on GOG. Take away those two, and that leaves only 4 games.
