Fuck Ubisoft.

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.

So, Steam exclusivity is fine, but other stores exclusivity isn't?

I think a million times people discussed this and ubi and epic store clients are far inferior compared to steam. People have all the rights to not want their game collection spread across half a dozen platforms.

I personally don't buy anything Ubisoft mainly because their launcher is pure garbage and I hate it with passion.

Steam made me stop pirating games, Epic and Ubi made me overcome my FOMO and be a patient gamer.

Wrong. I never said I wanted it to be exclusive on Steam, I just want it to be available on there as well.

Why is Steam pretty much the only one it's not available on? The fact that it's on so many other platforms just makes this exclusion even more illogical.

Definitely greed, Ubisoft did the same thing in 2019 because they didn't want to pay Steams 30% cut.

Gog exclusivity would be cool, epic not so much.
