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.

From Wikipedia:

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is an action-adventure game developed and published by Ubisoft and the first major installment in the Prince of Persia series since 2010's Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands.[2] It was released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S

So it’s pretty much available everywhere except steam. Very frustrating, but it is not just available on epic and their proprietary launcher. Far from it.

Sorry, I forgot to mention the consoles. This doesn't change anything for me, but it's still an important point to mention. Updated the post.
