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.

Lol right? Why is steam the only acceptable DRM?

Why is steam the only acceptable DRM?

Because it's optional and if opted in, works offline.

As a linux gamer, a game that is not available on Steam is a game i won't even bother checking. I can easily run non-steam game using lutris or heroic-game-launcher but I prefer to stick to my walled garden than step in their's.

It's generally easier to install a pirated repack of a game via Steam and Proton than using their awful launchers.
