I wonder if/when it will come out for Steam.
Wait for year or two. It sucks.

I'm sure the last few Ubisoft games I got from Steam all installed UPlay before letting me run them anyway...
I'm not buying it because £45 is not a budget price for what feels like an indie game experience. I can wait for a sale on that, or more likely for it to go to PSN Extra. Still got plenty on my backlog.
Genuine curiosity, why does it matter which platform it comes out on? Asking from a comlnsole-only point of view. I only game on PS5, so I'll never get to play Xbox-only games. But if you're on a PC, you can just get the other platform?
Too many launchers nowadays. It's becoming like movies and tv streaming services.
It's inconvenient for sure, but monopolies are worse.
People say that theoretically but not only Steam doesn't stop anyone from selling in other places, it delivers better services than any other platform (except maybe GOG that has the big benefit of being DRM-free)
The Steam "monopoly" ends up being less detrimental than the "competition" of locking each game to a different platform.

If it was only on their launcher I wouldnt care. Its the little exclusivity deal on epic that annoys me.
Its one thing to only sell your stuff on your own personal store. Thats fine, whatever. But to create fake exclusivity on pc? Nah fuck off dude, especially from ubisoft

Had this epiphany with the new Ass Creed. It launched on steam, but after buying it still has a second front end Ubisoft launcher. Thats just straught up lying to me about what im purchasing. I dont want Ubi Spyware. Period.
I haven't bought a Ubisoft game since Farcry 3 when a friend invited me to join an online game (which is something I very rarely had the opportunity to do) but the game wouldn't let me play because I didn't have that subcription thing they had. I tried using the free signup code that came with the game, but my brother already used it. So yeah, I have a personal grudge against that shitty company.
Also, I hate what they did to the Rainbow Six franchise. The original games (by Red Storm, I think?) are what those games should've been.
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.
