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.

Maybe it runs on a switch emulator. ๐Ÿ˜

I heard from a "friend" that it runs very well on a Switch emulator on a Steam Deck. Some pre-rendered cutscenes are janky. It has a pretty cool system where you can take a screenshot that will pin to the map to indicate places you need to find back to once you unlock a new ability, and sometimes those don't render right either. But otherwise, gameplay is flawless. Or so I've heard.

I've heard this as well I've heard it works well on the steam deck too

I reckon some sort of physically active girl already has it but packaged and released with a switch emulator so you can just go play it.
