And there's the problem. You'd imagine that Ubisoft still don't really like doing business with Valve. The last thing they'd want to do is pay them a chunk of every MTX for the game and would prefer to keep all the proceeds for themselves. Hence, XDefiant ain't on Steam.

Yeah but they also know that they will miss a bit of income as some people like to use steam only.

That would require Ubisoft management to actually know what they're doing. That's more than a little doubtful. *Points at Skull & Bones*

Why would they need one?
A lot of players are already so biased that they won't buy outside of steam..... and the bigger publishers like Ubisoft do not need the Steam players to sell enough on their own.

They only sell on steam after some time to get the few extra bucks after sales toned down.

Why would you need one?? Because this is what you do when you run a company who sell goods or services.

Not Valve. Steam is more akin a marketplace than a store. Game devs/publishers choose to put their games on Steam, not the other way around.

You contact Ubisoft if you want the game on Steam. If you want to wait til Valve does it for you, you'll be waiting a very, very long time.

That may flop anyhow. Idt people are into those run and gun shooters as they used to be. CSGO is about it. Other than that, it's all about Battle Royale and Tactical Shooters splitting the markets. Run and gun is too boring. BF, traditional COD, all going bye bye imo.

Look at Valve's new game in alpha, Deadlock.

What's the advantage of that? You'd have to launch the game through their launcher anyway.

No. In fact they don't. Devs/ publisher put their games on Steam, not the other way around.

It's not like you or anyone here would know that. Keep in mind that no company wants to lose a good opportunity of profit and that's what big games are.

I like to keep my games together. I know I can add non steam games to the library but I also like the terms and agreements of steam. I feel more assured when Valve/steam is involved.

They don't.

Valve has always let developers freely choose to use Steam. They have never gone out and asked developers to put their game on Steam. If the developer wants the game on Steam, then they will put it on Steam.

Steam is more of a market place, where developers and publisher come to sell games, then it as a store that actively finds more products.

There are many market places who have a commercial pro active selling department. They are in the money making business. But I get your point.

You're allowed to invent whatever assurance you like, but the world isn't likely to operate around them.

At some point you either decide to solely use Steam and forgo playing games on other platforms. Or you get used to compromise because the one launcher world ended over a decade ago.

To the point of the topic, Valve has been extremely successful operating its own way. And sometimes people don't stop to think that Valve has been successful because of their decisions and different approaches, and maybe not despite them.

XDefiant being ported to Steam, if Ubisoft ever does, would become impractical and redundant and would only serve to boost its visibility—something the game doesn't seem to need after it reportedly surpassed one million unique users within two and a half hours of its launch, per Insider Gaming. So it dosen't need pay to share money with steam

Why impractical. Sure its weird to start a game via Steam which starts a launcher which starts the game. Nothing new here.

Ubisoft will bring this to Steam If its near dead Like Blizz was doing with Diablo4 and Oberwatch.
They Just dont want to give Steam the 30% :)

I dont even know why anybody wants to Play a Ubisoft Game to be real...
