Fuck Ubisoft. (slrpnk.net)
submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by technomad@slrpnk.net to c/games@lemmy.world

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.

It will be because of the "First Run" deal that Epic offers, so you'll get to play in 6 months. I don't blame the studio for doing it though but it's not ideal for some.

What an incredible and numerous combination of harmonies. Excellent share, thank you.

I don't hate the idea of exclusive games because they kind of bring more competitions. But I also couldn't give too much fucks because Ubisoft games suck anyway.

You're missing out on a fucking great game.
