Epic games

[potionjunkie]

It's interesting that ubisoft released this on steam instead of uplay or epic. I'm glad they did but its still interesting.

[ReZZiT]

hope they will go away from epic or at least release all their games everywhere

+1. I wish they would swap of Anno 1800 with this title.

Could it have something to with the lack of advertising?

Fire and brimstone when they won't release the next AC on Steam ... ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, Ubi!

I do wonder... I assumed that they would just go epic for everything now. I hope this is sign of a change.

It is interesting, it makes one wonder if Epic didn't see this as a big enough title worthy of getting money paid towards upfront, but even without that, wasn't the whole point of Epic supposed to be the amazing revenue split, so it really makes one wonder why this would be sold on steam at all, or at not both on steam and Epic. I really wish we could have an insight into those decision making processes since it would probably answer quite a few questions.

Because this is like a mobile game.

It's pretty straightforward, actually. Starlink has not been as successful as they'd hoped, and it does cost a developer time (= money) to make ports work with various software platforms (Steam, Epic, etc.).

Uplay also has a pipeline-of-sorts with Steam, and Valve's platform is the most frequented in the West, so they likely chose to double-down on the big dawg rather than the new golden boy.

UbiSoft Toronto does some good work and is a nice venue (I live there and have been inside their campus). Sad to see the Ubi HQ sort of treat Starlink like an afterthought, now. They even shut down the toys-2-life production. (One day the toys will become rare).

It's not at all surprising. They made a handful of deals with Epic to keep up their relationship with them, and they know they'll still just sell all their games on Uplay anyway. You won't see any major publisher (aside from Epic, that is) release all their games exclusively on Epic Store.

Future Ubisoft titles like the Splinter Cell Game and AC game will be problary on Epic Games. Its not surprising why they decided to put this game onto steam.

Nah it has nothing to do with the revenue split. If thats what it was devs/publishers would have published their games on discords launcher which came before epic if i'm not mistaken.

Seriously though ♥♥♥♥ epic.

Because nobody actually cares about EGS if they not paid them millions of dollars for exclusivity.
