I was pretty hyped for the new prince of persia game (the lost crown), but come to find out it’s only available on ubisoft’s proprietary launcher or epic games. Nope, and nope.

I just want to have it available on my usual storefront, Steam, but it’s been decidedly omitted. As a long time fan of the old games, this kind of hurts. Especially since many of the others -are- available on Steam.

I wonder if/when it will come out for Steam. These platform exclusivity deals need to die.

Edit: It’s also available on several consoles, my post was just from a pc gamer’s perspective.

      On their own game engine.

      Built to showcase their specific VR hardware. That they built after getting burned from multiple VR companies who abused Valves good will of providing access to their patent protected VR tech for free, to help accelerate the VR industry.

      …a platform that works much better than the others… and a game that has been made with more love than anything in the past half a decade

      You are fully justified to put your own developed stuff where youwant to.
      On this one point I side with Ubisoft.

        The problem isn’t that Ubisoft is using their own launcher, it’s that their launcher blows ass

        Yeah, this particular argument goes back around to validating Ubisoft
