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.

Ubisoft's launcher also has an offline mode, though, does it not?

You lost me at 'ubisoft's launcher'

I remember playing Far Cry 3 on Steam way back when... It opened up uPlay. I was not happy, but what can you do.

So I played for a bit, then... the game crashed. Nothing seemed to be wrong with the game, but the uPlay lost connection. Everything else worked just fine. Happened several times after that, never bought anything else from Ubisoft.

Even if their launcher isn't such piece of shit anymore, I don't care.
