It's an almost 10 years old game that, as far as I know, uses Anti-cheat... which is supported by Linux.

At this point I no longer know what Ubisoft is trying to do and why, but they're sure slowly getting closer and closer to be irrelevant.

Tho I have to admit that their turn-based Rainbow Six game, made by the studio thatdid the Mario & Rabbids games, looks good.

I'm guessing the anti-cheat doesn't work as well on Linux, so they'll just kill the game on Linux entirely. Seems entirely reasonable, definitely.

I applaud Ubisoft for doing that R6 game, but personally I'm very unlikely to ever purchase/play it because of Ubi's stupid launcher policy. They've definitely missed out on some money from me because of their launcher and will continue to do so.

To be honest, having to open their own launcher at the same time is annoying, but not really a deal breaker. Me not trusting them is the biggest problem I face when thinking about buying one of their games.

The 9070Xt is one of AMDs best launches in years. It's good to see it having the success it deserves.

Fragile 16-Pin Connectors Keep Melting RTX 5090s & Other GPUs, But Teclab Proves Old 8-Pin Connectors Can Handle The Load Just Fine

https://wccftech.com/fragile-16-pin-connectors-keep-melting-rtx-5090s-gpus-teclab-proves-old-8-pin-connectors-can-handle-the-load-just-fine/

Well, it's not like we didn't know already, but it's good to see some tests proving it.

With that said, som reviewers tried very hard to melt their 12x6 connector doing all kinds of things on them, and failed. Because of that, while  I don't argue with their claim that the 8xpin connector is safer, a single sample result is not a definitive proof.

The fact that the 9070XT, the only card that uses both connectors, only has had melted connectors in units using the 12x6 plug, tho, now that is a bigger proof of the qualities of the 8xpin connectors.
