Reason for this meme is that some ubisoft titles are shipped with a broken version of ubisoft connect launcher. Installing these games is only possible by running the installer for the launcher again via protontricks.

The majority of the issues I have with WoW on Linux are because of the battle.net launcher. If they added the game to Steam, I'm sure I wouldn't have any issues.

Really? Ubisoft though? If there's any game studio I could do without, it would be Ubi. Because of their practices I haven't bought a game from them in years and years, and honestly it's not even been a challenge to pass them up.
I must confess that I love the Assassins Creed series
But only up till 4.

honestly just PC gaming in general without 3rd party launchers
Sometimes they make sense for managing mod-sets/different instances (i.e. Stellaris or most famously Minecraft.
well yeah obviously, 3rd party launchers that are optional to use because they serve a purpose. Forced launchers like uplay and origin are the issue. they serve no purpose and offer a worse experience for the user and are forced on your system. Back in my day when a piece of software came with something else that pops up on your screen and runs in the background bogging down your system and collecting data, we considered that a virus.

It always reminds me that genshin is playable on Linux with proton (at least in 4.2, and I didn't even tested wine). It's just the launcher that doesn't work. They are just so close yet so far
It is fully playable? I play on Linux with HoyoPlay and I have absolutely no issues?
There's "an anime game" project to workaround the launcher and anti-cheat. Was fully playable when I used it a few months ago, but I did have to change to Proton GE or something else to fix some graphical glitches.
Also, no guarantee your account won't get banned.

I haven't booted it up since 4.2 but I do know I didn't had any issues. You just need to start from the game exe instead of the launcher
~~linux~~ gaming without 3rd party launchers.
Funnily the first time I tried Linux on my desktop was because I wanted to play BF4 but the EA App refused to launch on Windows 10 even after restarting/reinstalling everything.
I slapped Pop_OS on a backup SSD and got it running through Lutris within the hour.
Origin was a fucking nightmare to use even on Windows, and honestly...the EA desktop app wasn't really an improvement.

Well, not exactly to be honest. You'll still have a lot more problems than gaming on Windows due to fragmentation.
But, if your distribution system is purely flatpak, then yes, it should be smooth.
You're right. It's just frustrating that most games could run better (or at all) if publishers paid just a little bit of attention.
