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.
Farcry 4 and Assassin's Creed Unity missing from Steam?
- Thread starter The Apple BOOM
- Start date
Yup. They're both gone from the US Steam store for me as well. If you search for "Assassin's Creed Unity", you'll get a broken link to the season pass. Oh man if they becomes uPay exclusive on PC I think Ubisoft's going to get shit on really hard by the PC community (not that they had much love from the PC community to begin with.)
Edit: Several editions and related products (including steel cases/case covers I couldn't tell which) for both games are available in the uPay store. Fuck Ubisoft.
Edit 2: The Crew is also gone apparently. It would appear the US store is a part of the UK store as far as Steam/Ubisoft is concerned.

Yeah, they pulled them so they can sell them for £50 over on uPlay.
Ubistahp seems to be in full on damage mode lately.

And the rest of us will have another reason to say "Fuck preorders".Mezahmay 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 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?

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:
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:
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:
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:
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

About bloody time, if you're going to make something like Uplay than do it right. How can anyone have any semblance of confidence in such a service if Ubisoft themselves clearly don't. They are a big company, everyone knows their games and its the PC platform...paying Valve's toll makes zero sense for them.
While many will cry doom, in reality Ubisoft has enough fans that such claims are bunkum. However while I'm reading a lot of UK only stuff, I've only caught a few remarks of it being world wide. If its UK only than its a region locking of sorts (the kind to make it so people don't pay for things cheap), if its world wide move than it'll be a much nicer looking move as at least.

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:
About Ubisoft being "bad guys" by not having their game on Steam? What?Ima Lemming said:
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 am glad to see more devs are moving away from the toxicity that is steam. There is very little reason for a large developer to sell their games on steam if they can do so on their own website.
