Mirage is not coming to Steam

[Arrogant Player]

Tf is this. They just bring their old trash to Steam to screw us over on new releases again? If they don't bring Mirage to Steam refund this s***

It will get here, less % claimed by epic so release there first, collect all that extra % off each sale from epic customers and those that simply cant wait or refuse to buy through connect for whatever reason then 1 - 2 years later once sales slow they will release on steam for the steam customer base sales for a second round of promotions while they tease news about AC whatever title they are nearing release on during this time.

The difference between the two stores and the staggered release for me though mainly comes down to content, early players get buggy release (not that AC Valhalla improved with time in this area) and slow DLC releases over next year and half or so.

Or wait ...and get all content at a discounted sale price and hopefully a game that does not crash like this POS does.

[Excogitator]

Good. I'm glad it's not coming to steam. Apparently they're trying out a new business model with "less game for the same bloated price". I hope it tanks. It makes no bloody sense whatsoever. Who in their right mind would want to pay the same for less content. It's only supposed to be a 20 hour to finish game. The way gaming has been indoctrinated to the younger generation is disgusting. They tolerate so much garbage it wouldn't surprise me if they thought it was a good idea. What a joke.

[Creeper of Doom]

Just Wait... it will be here eventually i know it.

Mirage is trash anyway Valhalla is way better.

[Wolf]

It might be Steam's fault here....

Valve has higher standard when it comes to games, so they probably declined the garbage and the cash-grab that is Mirage :)

[alexfaber@999]

I don't play that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
I need valhalla ng+
The next AC after mirage is terrible, too
AC is dead

i just want steam achievements. my steam is still pretty low on achieves and assassin's creed games are where alot of my acheivements on xbox came from.

Companies release outside of Steam for 2 reasons, to get cash directly from those vendors looking to snub steam, or because they want to avoid reviews. They certainly don't sell as much outside of Stream to be considered a business strategy, Epic exclusives for example need to have their full development costs met before they'll consider releasing on Epic exclusively because nobody is dumb enough to think you'd sell as many copies there to take that risk without full remuneration. Ubisoft was once strong enough to release externally on their past releases, this doesn't seem like it holds much water now.

example: Epic paid $147mUSD to prevent Borderlands 3 from releasing on steam for a year.

The whole model Tim Sweeny came up with was to make a storefront that catered to execs/publishers that don't want people to know how ♥♥♥♥♥ their game is before you spend $!20 on it and to put money where his mouth is he'll pay you the full development cost of your product. I don't think I've seen a less market friendly / consumer hostile scheme, but i can tell that there's almost nothing of value that comes out of Epic, so the billion dollar publishers sure are right about their ♥♥♥♥♥♥ products.

What confuses me is the currently running sale they have a massive assassins creed bundle starting from ac1 all the way up to Valhalla including spin offs but no mirage in that bundle at 75 % off like how is that justifiable 🤦🤦🤦🤦

Of course not why would they sell it and get a 30% fee when they can sell it and get no fee. Uplay is a very successful gamestore. Losing a very few sales that they can pick up years from now mostly is not a big deal. People have to use UPLay to run Ubisoft games anyway. They will never get a Steam launcher only play with this game.

Exactly! I own some of the games on here, and some on Ubisoft. Im currently playing Valhalla on Ubisoft and came on here to ask a question. I like Steam's platform the best.

Over 1 Billion from Valhalla alone is.... a significantly loss...???

Its their most successful AC Game ever.

I said it was "some losses" they were trying to recoup on and not significant as you misquoted me but looking into it in further detail does paint a picture of significant losses the company had last fiscal year, 18% drop in revenue is not minimal, that is significant.

"Assassin's Creed Mirage follows a pretty disappointing 2022 for Ubisoft, in which the company did not do as well as it could in its fiscal year, reporting an 18% drop in its revenue when compared to 2021"

"Today's report revealed that decline to be nearly twice as bad as the February forecast, with Ubisoft reporting an equivalent of $1.89 billion in net bookings, an 18% drop compared to the previous year."

"Ubisoft's other key performance indicators didn't fare much better, as the company reported $538 million in net losses for the past fiscal year."

It literally takes one minute to confirm this too, the facts don't lie no matter how much you want to white knight your favourite AAA game company.

It is exactly as I stated and I stand by it, "the only reason the came back to Steam was to recoup on some of those losses". It's pretty evident that they had losses last fiscal year, don't know why you are trying to claim otherwise other then blind fanboyism.

Id like to see data for all gaming software companies. I have a feeling sales were down significantly for all. My guess is that coming out of Covid is partly to blame. During covid everyone was staying home and not doing much outside the house. Gaming was at an all time high. A better test would be to compare 2022 sales to those in 2019.

🤷‍♂️ I'll just wait until it eventually comes out on Steam. They said the same thing about Valhalla and Far Cry 6 that it wouldn't come out on Steam but it eventually did even though they say it wouldn't . I only use epic for free games and games that I know are gonna be exclusive to Epic games like Alan Wake 2 and the Kingdom Heart games.

Mirage will come to Steam....when Ubisoft have hoovered up all the money from Epic and realise nobody else is biting.

Yeah, i went ahead and bought that new Alan Wake remaster/remake on Epic. They do have a few exclusive games. There is a LoTR game too that looks good.
