Why no achievements?

[untn]

I guess Ubisoft is trying to pull people to Uplay by making the achievements only on Uplay why if I wanted Uplay I would buy it there please add achievements to all Far Cry games on steam.

Your post is completely irrelevant to what I posted.

The game is not longer been supported. There won't be any stupid steam Achievements.

Far Cry 5 was been released last year March 27, 2018
All season pass DLCs have been released too.
The game is no longer been supported, no more patches, addons or any updates.

Thanks for the replay, it makes sense but I don't think they will abandon their product which was released just last year.

They do that with every game like that.
Once last season pass DLC is released, support on game is over.
Exception are games with extensive Multiplayer core.

work on far cry 5 ceased long ago just as Snip said .. when they started work on FarCry New Dawn ..the devs already announced this last year in October right on the steam forums

Thanks Snip and Sof I am disappointed at Ubisoft but as long as the game works fine I'm good it's really bad to announce publicly to customers there will be no update I think it shows lack of respect to customers by Ubi they should always keep the update door open.

why the game is finished , there is no need to add anything .in game achievements are are done via Uplay..now your gonna ask ... why..?

well steam is only one digital distribution point .. they sell games on and yes many more copies on other digital partner sites that sell more copies then steam combined

ALL DVD copies use only Uplay .. no steam involved

steam \ valve also locks the player into only buying DLC on steam ..if you buy your base game on steam YOU MUST BUY YOUR DLC on steam for it to work

see https://support.ubi.com/en-GB/Faqs/000027275/Game-content-compatibility-between-Steam-and-Uplay/

steam changes the install locations as well as save file locations .. they have done this for far cry 3 4 5 Primal and even new dawn as well as the AC games ... to lock players into buying only DLC usually at an inflated price... when the games (and DLC ) are in fact on sale more often on other digital partner sites

steam does this why ? yes steam needs to make a buck too off other peoples games that they distribute

bottom line your always better off with a Uplay only copy ..they can be found cheaper , on sale , more often then what steam charges for ubisoft developed titles

Ubisoft made the decision to only allow only uplay achievements early in the development cycle

so that's what ya get .. only achievements in Uplay .. by the way they sold over 7 million units of the game .. steam sales to date = less then 1 million

according to steam spy https://steamspy.com/app/552520

it shows Steam owners count 500,00 to 1 million

and https://www.techspot.com/news/80106-ubisoft-far-cry-5-best-selling.html

so no there is no need to add a thing to the game . nor waste more dev time or investment on a game that has already shipped and out sold the previous game

personally i only buy Uplay only copies from now on ...for my Ubisoft games .. so its a non issue to me .. got far cry New dawn alot cheaper then what steam sold it for.... the day it shipped off green man games .. same with FC primal

all steam adds is more DRM and another DRM hoop to hop thru as you must load steam + uplay to play your game

uplay only copies require only the Uplay launcher

Thanks again Sof you provided good demonstration about online game stores. I was thinking of a refund on steam and I will get Far Cry Platinum bundle on Uplay.

After all what's the point of having Steam launches Uplay. I can just go and use Uplay launcher.

they are not gonna add steam achievements to far cry 5 .. as no UBI is no longer updating far cry 5 at all .. they are already working on the next game of the series ..and NO it will not be coming to steam ..they already have said that on every web site for the past 3 yrs had you bothered to look

valve takes a 30 % cut of all games and DLC on everything sold on steam .. all the new UBI titles are sold on Ubi connect and EPIC ..as epic takes less of a cut of the sale price

get over it .. all achievements are done yes in UBI connect

steam is only a single store ............that sells the game , usually at a much higher price then you can find online direct from ubi partner sites

If steam sells it at a much higher price doesn't that mean that UBI would get a bigger cut of the action as well? ;)

For far cry 5 70% of 60 euros is 42 on steam, Ubi is selling it for 12 euros on their page.

Are they getting more money by selling on steam or directly? XD
