Ubisoft comes crawlin' back to Steam
Ubisoft comes crawlin' back to Steam
After years of running exclusively with Epic, Ubisoft has had enough.
I love that this is the press photo Valve chose to send to the outlet for the piece.
You might not like it, but that is the ideal male body.
Yes, and I'm doing what's in human power to reach it one day!
They should remove their shitty uplay launcher while they're at it.
When I used it the launcher would constantly forget my login. And then for older games like Splinter Cell it asked for a login everytime I launched the game. It was ridiculous.
Nothing like having to swat away 10 text boxes of bullshit on launcher start.
When the game finally starts you get 10 more boxes and then ads for the season pass you couldn’t give a shit about.
It's not just a launcher but another garbage DRM method. But yeah, if they'd remove UPlay they may even get me back for the odd title. UPlay was the major reason why I started boycotting them.
Ubisoft's bean counters had some trouble reading the market on this one.
They left Steam because they felt the 30% cut that Valve takes for sales on their platform is way too high, but didn't account that users of Steam are really entrenched into that platform and don't want to leave just for the chance to play an Ubisoft title. So instead of seeing 70% of Steam sales of their games, they saw 0.
If only they made stores that were actually good and truly compete with Steam.
