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.

Ubisoft make it pretty easy for me. I don't have to worry about any of this, because none of their recent titles have been worth spending your money, let alone time on

This is my take as well. The last Ubisoft game I enjoyed was Black Flag. It's a shame because in the early 2000s they were great, but now they're just churning out yearly sequels to turn Assassin's Creed and Far Cry into Call of Duty.
