Fuck Ubisoft.

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.

For me, I prefer Steam because of Steam Link, which allows me to play Steam games remotely on my phone.

“prefering” steam is completely understandable. Boycotting a game and being disappointed and angry because it’s not on steam isn’t. To me at least. Regarding steam link: if you have an Nvidia graphics card, check out Moonlight!

What we want are reliable DRM-free installers, that don’t make our PC get infected and don’t spy on us.

What we can curently get (outside of piracy), is Steam.

Piracy is looking better every day, and specifically, every time one of these services has a huge security breach.

Steam link doesn’t work for external games added into your steam library? I’m new to steam in general, but it seems weird that they’d let you add a game and not use them with link.

I usually have problem with controller settings when playing external games via Steam Link.

Steam link doesn’t work for external games added into your steam library?

Yes it does. I dunno about the hardware unit, but the android app alone works with everything you have on Steam; even the non-Steam games. Just fired up The Outer Worlds Spacer Choice edition given away on EGS some weeks back added to Steam as a non-Steam game through Steam Link on my phone.

It even straight up streams your desktop, so you can launch games not even running through Steam.
