Missing out in the UK
Got me thinking that we in the UK are missing out due to whatever reason off the fall out between steam and Uplay / EA It's fustrating to see other's playing the like's ACU (aside all the early problems) So no ACU, Far Cry 4 what next ? Do we have to wait weeks thats if they even get to steam. Wanting to stay loyal but maybe it's time I put myself first by getting the game's no matter which client is selling it. We still have had no offical answer from either or a release date for steam, which wouldnt be so bad but nothing !!!!

Are you willing to pay £49.99 on steam (as you wont get it cheaper as other sites wont give you a steam key) or use other sites to get a UPlay or Origin key for nearly half price which I did with Far Cry 4, even GMG has it for £34.99. UPlay has got better with its downloads the last month or so.

In the past Ubisoft had a deal with Game in the UK, Far Cry 3 appeared approx 3 weeks after release. I doubt the refund thing would be the thing. But I could be wrong. TBH I am not up with that side of it.

EA have done the right thing with there refund policy, but I refuse to pay there RRP prices so I shop elsewhere. There is only one game is last few years which I would of considered refunding was X -Reunion thats was a complete mess on release. I buy alot of new releases which has included Far Cry4 and the new Dragon Age this week.

I admit I quite a easy going indivual who not that bothered about maxing games or achieving a certain FPS. This is where alot off problems occur as quite alot of modern gamers are OCD. But its a grey area but thats another discussion.

In fairness, whilst there ARE individuals who are, as you put it, OCD, inflating small issues into large ones, but it's really not true that is the case generally.

Games these days often ARE bloody messes - this year has been dreadful for a fine example.

There are plenty of examples of users fulfilling their obligation of troubleshooting thoroughly, pestering devs and leving no avenue untravelled, yet can be left with a completely unplayable game. This happens, and it's quite wrong.

This is the very reason the EU created the law to tighten up distance selling regulation and digital goods all in one go. Here in England and Wales, it's taken the form of the Consumer Rights Act, which was meant to go through no later than 31st December last year, but our wonderful government have tried to stall it (which is obviously in breach of our EU agreement). It's currently in it's penultimate reading in the Lords, so it IS imminent though.

The simple point here is that if there wasn't a solid reason for it, the law would not need tightening up.

The games will return to UK steam store.... I Saw on ubisoft site that they re currently negotiating with valve about conditions.. And its just matter of time when it will return.. they said that it will return for sure .. they r considering at 3-4 december cuz they dont want to disapoint all cusomers.. and ubisoft and valve will match with big loses if they dont return so its just matter of time

I admit I have been lucky amd havent had a game that refused to run in the last 4 years apart from one from a smaller developer, Its about time we had protection from dodgy developers. It could be intresting to the amount of people getting refunds on EA games percentace wise if people are using as a glorified demo, EA like alot of devlopers have problems in the first few weeks of releases, but I suppose it more prolific these days because of the internet.

I remember creating Boot Disks and waiting patienly for patches on cover disks, just to play certain games, so its not a new thing. I only tend to buy games I know I will like, I also can buy a new title and then only play it a few months later, but I suppose I am different to certain gamers, who are obssesed with completing games as fast as possible.

They will appear on steam, it just takes some time, let ubi make some money 1st, I bought FarCry4 and The Crew, their on Uplay, but Id prefer it on Steam UK, but I wont re-buy just to see it on steam, but there are people who would buy the game twice just coz they want it on steam, that way the devs make more money...get it, its all about the peas bruv.

Anyway guys when steam machines will be released and if they make success then these ****ing companies like EA and Ubisoft especially EA (because they dont release anything on steam) will release their games on steam.Because with these consoles the steam users will be even more and the pc gaming will be improving even more as well.I read something(i dont remember the source it was from a gaming site) that you can buy a steam machine preety cheap and the cost will be less than the cost from PS4 or Xbox one and still with better specs(better graphics and performance).Lets see then whow these ****ing companies will run like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ releasing their games on steam because if they don't... then they will lose.

"Steam machines" are just small PCs. If you run Windows on them, you already can download Origin or uPlay on them. Hell, you can connect any laptop with HDMI output to a TV and call it a "Steam Machine", it's really no different.

Why?
You can still load uPlay and Origin, etc. on a "Steam Machine" - which is basically a PC with linux as it's OS and a Steam front end bolted on.

Most of these games don't even HAVE a linux port, so they won't be on Steam to play on your steam machine anyway.

Yeah sorry you are right guys in this term.Yeah i think that i read somewhere that it will not have any kind of restrictions.But i dont know.I believe steam will be even more famous.I dont know, i think if Valve wants back EA's products ,they have to do something about it with the steam machine releases.Anyway Steam machines at least will improve the pc community and especially Steam community with these beautiful "consoles" that come with these awesome prices.But yeah i've had enough with this freaking treatment to pc gamers by these companies especially EA.I don't know in my opinion sooner or later EA games will return to Steam.Besides who buys games from Origins except the exclusives?Nearly anyone everyone wants to buy games from Steam.Besides Origin was created i think at 2011? And steam runs from 2002 or 2003 sooo..
Jacob R1ZK 2014 年 12 月 6 日 下午 2:55 
Besides A steam OS compatible version of Origin is probably not in the works so it's up to Valve if they decide to let EA put Origin on Steam.So there will be many people with the Steam OS.And if Origin will not be compatible with the Steam OS then, they would not be able to play EA games.Which it means for EA lost money.

Uplay servers are still going down far too often for my liking. Plus they are on my chit list anyway for their crappy releases since ACR. I got ripped off when i bought AC3 and for that UBI is going to pay with a permanent boycott.

Sure, i am only one sale they are goign to miss but every release since Ac2 has been yearly and progressively gettign worse culminating in a %10 UBI stock price drop on Unities release day. Unity was an unoptimised rushed to meet a deadline piece of patched up code that did not work well at all.

I do not think that we will see any more UBI games on steam at all. At least not new releases. They might release back catalog once they have gotten the majority of sales using their own platform.

I've found good deals on Steam, Uplay and Origin, but often the best and all year around is via Amazon (UK). I have no problems using multiple stores eg uplay/steam/origin in the same way i shop at different supermarkets or different stores.

For a gamer who's now in his 50's I find it sad the amount of moaning I find on these forums by some. Years ago the idea of choice was a rarity and buying a computer game was a full priced affair without in some cases knowing what you've just bought as not all games then were reviewed and the net didn't exist.

If so called gamers feel that they wish to boycott a publisher then that's their perogative, but they need to realise too that it's a business that needs to make money to survive. In an ideal world everything would be fair, but sadly business is not like that, meaning if for instance Ubisoft feel they can make more money via different retail mechanisms, then they'll most likely take that route.

PC gaming has never been so easy, I can vouch for that, so if you really like the look of a game, I can't see why you need to snub it - buy it and play it.

Those games you mentioed always required the DRM of the publisher i.e. origin, Uplay. Why buy it through steam and get double the DRM? (unless the product itself is cheaper)
