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.

They’re on epic, their launcher, Xbox, PlayStation, and switch. That’s a lot of stores taking their cut lol.

There are five ways to play this game, two of which involve a free launcher that you interact with for all of 30 seconds. I do not understand why this is such a big deal.

I mean, the reason is obvious of course: people like to simp for Valve, and people like to dunk on Ubisoft. This is basically carte blanche to act like they have kidnapped a newborn child without any consideration for what they actually did lol
