Ubisoft's winter Lineup pulled from Steam

[NuclearKangaroo]

AC: Unity, Farcry 4 and The Crew are no longer avaliable for pre-purchase on steam

ubisoft definitively doesnt give a crap about its PC customers

first they make an awful DD platform that nobody uses willingly

then they gimp the PC version of watchdogs on purpose

and now they wont even let people buy their games on a platform they actually want to use


if they actually think uPlay can compete with steam, they are beyond crazy

i didnt see a thread already existed

and is not an overreaction, i hate Uplay is simply terrible, is the dumb friend steam asks you to invite if you want to hang out with him, why would i want to hang out with him alone, not to mention, my money is on steam, i cant even buy the game if its on Uplay

Why is that? Uplay not sell to your country or something?

oh no i can access the store just fine the last time i checked, but my money, all my dollars are on my steam wallet, due to bullshit and shenanigans dolalrs are extremely hard to come by in my country, so trading on steam pays for pretty much all my gaming expenses

While that may suck for you yours is a very unique case. Ubisoft is most likely no longer using steam because they believe that the loss of sales by not having it there is less then the cost of actually having it on steam.

Why are they crazy for promoting Uplay?

Origin did the same and there are now people who consider that service to be as good or better than steam.

I HATE uplay and I do agree that in the short term this will hurt their sales. That said, I have no problem with this decision since Uplay is required to play their games regardless. There will be no surprises this way.

yeah you can probably count those with one hand

i dont think so, if ubisoft was anywhere near that smart, they wouldnt have gimped the PC version of watchdogs

well, remember that garbage about not releasing watchdogs on the WiiU, DESPITE THE FACT THE GAME WAS ALREADY FUCKING FINISHED?

they are incredibly stupid

Just because the game was finished doesn't mean that it was compatible with the Wii U (unless you mean the version meant for the Wii U was already finished). You can't just port a game to another system in the blink of an eye. Either something happened with negotiations between Ubisoft and Nintendo or the cost of porting the game to the system and creating copies for it outweighed any profits they estimated that they would get back. Contrary to popular belief most companies don't do things solely to spite their customers.
