I've been boycotting Ubisoft for years, haven't missed a damn thing.

You can be sure that even the Epic version will still require the Ubisoft launcher. That is how all of my Steam purchased Ubisoft games are with the exception of the first Assassin's Creed which predated the Ubisoft launcher. All of the others require it regardless of how I bought it.

I'm going to wait for at least two or more years after release for the new Prince of Persia. My days of paying full price for Ubisoft's games are over and recent statements from the CEO make me reluctant to ever buy their games again.

Of all the shit Ubisoft does, not selling on steam is the dealbreaker? Alright.

Me in 2004: Yeah I’ll never play Half-Life 2 because I hate that it comes with a mandatory useless piece of software. « Steam », what the hell is that? Full of DRMs, ugly, bugged to the core, eating up my precious RAM.

YAR HAR FIDDLE DE DE YOU DO WHAT YOU WANT BECAUSE A PIRATE IS FREE.

I know of at least one other place it is available, and they have it for the cheapest price 😈

It's definitely convenient to have everything in once place, and Steam has way more features, but it's good to avoid Steam becoming too monopolistic. We saw recently how badly that can go with reddit.

Despite the widespread worshipping of Steam and GabeN, I've had lots of issues with Steam and Valve over the years.

Cue the BUT STEAMS MONOPOLY idiots that completely ignore that Valve does nothing to stop anyone from competing with them, its just that anyone who has tried (outside GOG) has only produced anti consumer garbage

Ubisoft is shit, most of their games are.

The moment I heard the new Prince of Persia had Denuvo, I wasn’t going to play it anyway.

I don't know how they all manage to do it but EA, Ubisoft, and Rockstar are all my most hated companies of all time. They can make some good stuff, but I just absolutely hate how they all force people to jump through so much hoops just to play the games you pay them for.

They force you to make accounts with them and use their stupid launchers which never work properly and are just advertisements. There have been so many times I just wanted to play a game and then forgot my password to the account and got locked out or the launcher needed an update and I had to wait like 20 minutes.

Fuck all large game corporations.

Well, guess I'm going to pirate it.

Steam or GoG

Anything else is too much pain.

Ubisoft make it pretty easy for me. I don't have to worry about any of this, because none of their recent titles have been worth spending your money, let alone time on

Was the same with every platform. Enshittification does not care about you

Pirate it

Ubisoft makes games for 13 year old mountain dew addicts

well also you might wanna look into pirating their titles (even if you do 'own' them), as they have made it clear they dont want you to have any control over the games you buy, like access to them in the future. So say the epic steam thing goes belly up, epic closes, ubi will not see a reason to give you access on their service or steam if they move their games there.
