Did you ever see assassins creed games being 5$ cheaper if you buy them on the ubi store as an example?

I had tracked ubisoft vs steam prices over the years, and usually if you wanted to pay less Ubisoft was the way to go for Ubisoft games.

Like Far Cry 6 $6 all time low on Ubisoft store and $11.99 all time low on Steam.

Yeah its saved me money over the years. I'm realizing in this thread lot of people didn't know Steam prices isn't always the best price and missing out on lot of discounts.
