Division 1 or 2?

Division 1 was built in a way that would be very hard to run on Linux, Division 2 however was ported to Stadia which is basically Ubuntu.

If it wasn't for Stadia that effort would never have been spent, I was a huge advocate for linux on those projects for years.

the division 2 isn't on steam, because ubisoft. and hence - as far as i know - isn't generally available on linux. there's some irony there i think.

That’s really heartening to hear!

I had assumed, if nothing else, that easy-anti-cheat would have prevented it.
