Fuck Ubisoft. (self.games)

I was pretty hyped for the new prince of persia game (the lost crown), but come to find out it's only available on ubisoft's proprietary launcher or epic games. Nope, and nope.

I just want to have it available on my usual storefront, Steam, but it's been decidedly omitted. As a long time fan of the old games, this kind of hurts. Especially since many of the others -are- available on Steam.

I wonder if/when it will come out for Steam. These platform exclusivity deals need to die.

Edit: It's also available on several consoles, my post was just from a pc gamer's perspective.

I've been boycotting Ubisoft for years, haven't missed a damn thing.

Yeah, there are so many great games by non-shitty developers. Skipping Ubisoft, EA, and Activision entirely is not only possible but there are more great games left than one can play anyway.

Yeah, that's pretty much where I'm at with gaming now. Why settle for a subpar experience? I don't have the time or finances for that.

Yeah, they're a pretty shitty company. Weren't they one of the first companies to implement always-on DRM?

Yeah, I think it was in Assassin's Creed 2. At the time, people were unable to play the single player game they bought at launch because Ubisoft shitty authentication service couldn't handle the load.

Guess who didn't have that problem...
