Ubisoft's launcher broke Steam games on Linux and Steam Deck

Thanks heaps, Ubisoft Connect, always *so* good to see you.

While it is being dealt with, this is yet another example of frustrating third-party launchers only making everyone's lives more difficult. I don't even want to know Ubisoft Connect exists, let alone have it flash up in my face and not be able to play my games because it's not working properly. I understand these companies want my data but you're supposed to be sneakier and better at getting it than this by now.

For now, at least there's a workaround and every Ubisoft game I've tested on Windows is working just fine. Hopefully any further third-party launcher issues will only strengthen the argument to do away with them completely.
