Far Cry 6 Epic games store and Uplay exclusive

[[KäPy] Switch 2 LETS GO]

Far cry 6 isn't coming to steam what are your thoughts?

Another one in the series to avoid, just like 3, 4, 5 and the others. Guess the sheeple won't care though.

How come you're avoiding these three games? Far Cry 3, Blood Dragon and 5 are widely regarded as the best in the series lmao.

Finally the arbiter of good taste has arrived. Thanks for letting us know what games won't make us slaves to the system

The decision to accept epic deals came from developer's will too. Just like when they decided to release games as steam exclusive. Epic can't force them to sign the deals if they don't want to.
And calling it bribe is really dumb since neither steam or steam fanboys owned the IP. Developers are free to decide which store is more beneficial for them.

There is no such thing as Steam-Exclusives, because there are NO exclusivity contracts between Steam and any 3rd party developers. The developers can leave Steam and FREE to go to any platform at any time they want. Which can't be done when the developers took bribes from Epic and signed the exclusivity Contract.

"Bribes". That's like saying you "bribed" Walmart for that gallon of milk, which you now "exclusively" control. It's called "buying something", dude. And it's also available on Uplay, that thing you already possess and activate your Far Cry games through, so it's not exclusive anyway.

Yeah, we probably won't avoid the good ones...because that would be silly.

The developers don't decide something like this. It's the publishers. The developers are basically wagies. They have zero control over the course of the game. It's the guys in suits that haven't played a video game in 30 years and are completely out of touch with the hobby and community that make these calls.

Are you for real? I like to look at my disk collection too but most of them are scratched beyond repair, not to mention losing some of them while moving stuff around the house or keeping track who borrowed which title from you and the disk version being forever the 1.XX version forcing you to manually update patches (tho can be beneficial in some cases).

Nah man I m glad the 200+ games I own on steam dont take up even more space in my room. I moved on to a new hobby for collecting, now I like my games on my Steam account, with all the community features right next to it
"playtime, workshop, community hub, forum, activity feed, etc."

the PUBLISHER is UBISOFT
the DEVELOPER is UBISOFT

they just moved away from steam as they lose 30% of the sale of the games and DLC on steam ..that's your cash, VALVE keeps, that they never get

and making AAA games cost a ton of cash to pay people for years to make a game so if your giving 30 % of your sales away it adds up
valve pockets 30% of the first 10 million dollars in sales .. that's a huge chunk of change and ..then moves to taking a 25 % cut
EPIC takes less of a cut .

and if you get the game via UBI connect your dealing direct with the DEV and publisher UBISOFT ..on Ubi games

UBISOFT announced they were moving away from steam several years ago .
and the latest AC game as well as the latest Watchdogs game also Skipped steam ,as well as the Division 2

Don't worry, Ubisoft will eventually come back to Steam, just like the EA (Electronic Arts) crawled back to steam.

Yeah all good man. They want as large a cut as possible from each sale. More power to them. They can later come back to steam if they want or not.

We can buy their game or not either, steam or not.

Seems like the system is working as it should. AMEN.

Frankly, I would be surprised if Ubi doesn't at least put their older games on Steam; you know, after a few years. Well, if Steam lets them; I think I heard that they were refusing to allow that anymore.

I doubt Valve would do that. It would be easy money for them to accept. Also it would encourage more steam users to wait till the game came to steam if they knew it was just a matter of time and the FOMO nonsense wasn't as 'bad'.

[no1schmo]

I thought they made an announcement that they were refusing to allow that, precisely to try to pressure companies into NOT signing exclusive deals with Epic. But maybe not.

You can connect games to Steam launcher, simply click 'Add a Game' in the bottom left corner and then it will show up in your library. It won't have any tabs for community and library, etc but it will be there. You can click play and it will start the game.

That isn't the same thing, that's just more overhead. There's more to Steam than just the overlay.

[Rommers]

They like to think they are independent, but they always end up on Steam, anyway. I'll just w8.
