So all of sudden those games aren't on steam anymore for me. Does anyone know what's going on? I read about some stuff going on in UK, but I'm in US.
If the Ubisoft twitter account comes out and says "We take the money and we run," I may die laughing.The Apple BOOM said:Does anyone know what's going to happen to the people who preordered on Steam?
And the rest of us will have another reason to say "Fuck preorders".Mezahmay said:If the Ubisoft twitter account comes out and says "We take the money and we run," I may die laughing.The Apple BOOM said:Does anyone know what's going to happen to the people who preordered on Steam?
True, but the man is Jim Fucking Sterling, son. We're going to thank God for him regardless of whether he unloads on Ubisoft or not.Ima Lemming said:And the rest of us will have another reason to say "Fuck preorders".
I think we all know what the next Jimquisition is going to be about. Ubisoft just won't let the man talk about anything else.
Oh, they business. It's just they business like it's 2006. They want everything and are ignoring the doom coming their way.Adam Jensen said:So first they announce the ridiculous system requirements that will make it really hard for PC gamers to play AC: Unity, and then they pull it off Steam to make it even more difficult to sell.
Bro do you even business?
It's more like they're becoming arrogant pricks again and they're repeating the same mistakes they made back in 2009. AT LEAST they're not still attempting to make their games always online. But they're not making it easy for their consumers. Well actually, for the consumers that don't lack any willpower they are making it easy. If PC gamers didn't buy their games until they started treating them with some resemblance of respect, this wouldn't be an issue even for a week.The Apple BOOM said:Oh, they business.

Part of the problem is only more dedicated gamers tend to know this stuff, and Ubisoft's games are of such middling quality that a lot of dedicated gamers would pass on their games regardless.Adam Jensen said:It's more like they're becoming arrogant pricks again and they're repeating the same mistakes they made back in 2009.

Honestly, with how the PR team of Ubisoft has been as of late I wouldn't be surprised if they said that. Seriously, it's like some of the big AAA publishers don't realize that you can say dumb shit on the internet and not expect a backlash. Hell, Ubisoft's PR lately made anything Don Mattrick and those other executives said about the Xbox One seem like reasonable statements. We're coming close to them surpassing Crazy Ken's "get 2 jobs" fiasco, if we've not already passed it.Mezahmay said:If the Ubisoft twitter account comes out and says "We take the money and we run," I may die laughing.
Been seeing a lot of this sort of stuff elsewhere, its really not flattering so I'd not go there. Such talk only reveals nastiness.The Apple BOOM said:Part of the problem is only more dedicated gamers tend to know this stuff, and Ubisoft's games are of such middling quality that a lot of dedicated gamers would pass on their games regardless.
About Ubisoft being "bad guys" by not having their game on Steam? What?Ima Lemming said:I think we all know what the next Jimquisition is going to be about. Ubisoft just won't let the man talk about anything else.
So is that master race garbage come from proclaimed PC superiority? Or being a Valvite? The bloody games are on PC, the experience will be the same...and you hate them because they did a business decision that cut out the pointless middleman than what can I say that won't be taken as absolutely heart breaking.mxc2012 said:wow, now i'm really glad i didn't preorder far cry 4, i was considering it too. bullet dodged.
i'm beginning to wonder if this is part of some plan of theirs to justify abandoning pc altogether. if they piss the players off enough more will pirate then they will lose more money to lost sales to the point where it makes financial sense to drop pc completely.
the master race doesn't want you anymore ubisoft
