Now the exclusivity deals are 2 years?

[Mang]

Kinda weird how Valhalla took 2 years to come on Steam instead of 1 like other timed exclusives. Except for Division 2, which came out 3 years ago and still not on Steam.

nah it is just they are hungry for money

they could realise the game in 2021, so their a plan is to stay exclu to epic and ubisoft store

Steam split is 30-20%. Consoles have 30%.

I hate ubisoft with all my heart, and I love steam despite some despotic moderation, but... honestly, 30% is too much. And those 30% made Valve very lazy, so we haven't got HL3

I feel the same about EA games origin, stopped buying EA games over ten years ago, money grubbing thieves

You might be missing out in some great games. EA is slowly changing their direction. There are now quite a few single player only games, with no DLCs or microtransactions and not even Origin is required. It's been for a few years now.

No. They just came crawling back because their platform FAILED. Tails between their legs they come back to Steam.

Watch them drop this ♥♥♥♥ full priced with no Steam features like achievements lol. They can shove it up their asses at that point.

Valhalla was reported to be one of most profitable games for Ubi. How did it fail?

[Singe Moisi]

Valhalla did make money, but not ALL of the money, which is why it's on Steam now.

Not a surprise that they come crawling back.
If we get Division 2 (for bargain bin cheap) and Rainbow Six Extraction I'll be happy. Throw in Far Cry 6 as well. And if they want us to treat them nicely make achievements for the Steam version if they want to use this platform.

Not related to Ubi but hopefully Steam still gets Kingdom Hearts some day. Sadly Square Enix is also one of the greediest corpos out there. Probably won't be on Steam until a few years from now when they double dip because they have no other idea except to release yet another pixel adventure that people mindlessly buy for $60-70.

From what I read most of its profitability came from Micro-transactions and DLC, which isn't a good sign for where the industry is heading IMO. The goal here is to get more sales in the hopes that they get more microtransactions to hopefully save their floundering stock prices.

Steam API files were found in the Epic versions a few months back, leading to theories they're trying to get the games Deck verified before release (they're a bit messed up using Epic's versions so clearly need some fixes).

It'll be a year in February since the Switch versions released. I doubt that would be causing a holdup, but it's technically possible I suppose.

The deal wasnt 2 years, it was never supposed to come to Steam. But Ubi saw Epic is a profitless dumpsterfire so they came back
