I know it doesn’t run (trivially) on SteamDeck. (Sorry, poor wording. I recall it wasn’t SteamDeck verified, last time I had my finger on the “buy” button.)
I know I’ll be buying a copy when any version releases with a SteamDeck verified badge.
So I imagine the conversation:
“Boss, getting this verified is going to be as much work at a full remaster!”
“Okay. So what?”
“So what?”
“Does anyone here not want to spend months updating this fantastic title that will probably sell like hot cakes?”
“…”
“So let’s do this.”
Edit: Or it could be the micro-transaction thing others mentioned. I hate that it’s more probable. I guess I could wait and emulate the original later, if so.
Interesting, what issue are you having on steam deck? I didn’t have any problems on my deck when I played it a handful of months ago. There was just a stupid issue where Ubisoft made me sign into the launcher every time I wanted to play. There was an offline workaround though that worked fine I found on protondb. After that I was able to lock it to 40 with some settings tweaks. Played great.

I didn’t have any issue, I just hesitated to buy it without the “verified” badge. Thanks for the info! That’s exciting. I’ve been wanting to play Black Flag.
Edit: I see my wording above was misleading. I will update.
Ah, that makes sense. I can understand being hesitant to pay money for something when valve says they’re not sure about a game. But honestly, the verified system is practically worthless at this point. Checking ProtonDB instead usually gives me more accurate info on a game’s compatibility and people will often provide fixes for games that don’t work perfectly out of the box.

Regardless, happy sailing my man. 🏴☠️
