EndOfLine, do games w Ubisoft comes crawlin' back to Steam

Until I hear that they have dumped the requirement to log into Ubisoft Connect or Uplay or whatever they are calling it noe, then Ubisoft will remain dead to me.

Makes me sad. I really enjoyed the Assassin’s Creed series and have waited for Shadows for what feels like a decade now.

That plus resigning the same game every few months

Fucking auto correct

Resigning should be releasing.

Apologies alll

Zahille7,
trashgirlfriend,

I think they meant to say reselling?

Z3k3,

I was really confused by your responce thinking it was meant for someone else toll I reread my comment. I’m referring to the “ubisoft game” that we all know and are bored of

stupidcasey,

Considering the president that rocket league set, I would agree.

essteeyou,

Precedent.

cmrn,

Every time I go to play an old Ubisoft game I get to some stage in launching where I remember “oh right this is why I stopped bothering to play”

AngryPancake,

Especially painful on steam deck. If you get it working, it adds a good minute to the launch time

There should be a crowdfunding to project a giant looping video of this mod in front of their offices for a year

smeg,

Faced with the return of one of humanity’s greatest threats, you have no choice but to head to THE TENTH CIRCLE OF HELL:

🇬🇧 THE UNITED KINGDOM OF 🇬🇧 GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND

I think we should put this on the tourist brochures

kindenough,

About that tourism...

On the other hand we Dutch run ads in the THE TENTH CIRCLE OF HELL, begging the Doom spawn coming for some nice debauchery, not to visit Amsterdam. True story.

We do tell people. For example, when you get off the train at Reading station it clearly says “Welcome to Reading”.

When you make a trash launcher, people tend to ignore it. Who knew?

Kecessa,

You could create the best launcher in the world and people would ignore it because they don’t want multiple launchers and their library is already centralized on Steam.

conciselyverbose,

Maybe.

But until there’s an alternative that isn’t outright disrespectful with how complete and utter dogshit it is it’s hard to say that for sure.

Inertia matters. But so does the fact that no one has bothered putting the work in to not be a trainwreck.

I’m starting to build up my GOG library quite a bit, and that launcher in its current state is still better than Ubisoft Connect.

datavoid,

I feel like both ubi and gog launchers are basically unusable. I have no idea why gog doesn’t fix their shit

JustMarkov,

For GOG just use Heroic.

“Disobeying a ZeniMax employee” being apparently some kind of crime gives me a sudden, near-desperate urge to disobey a ZeniMax employee.

What’s that? I’m not spending any more money on ZeniMax games? And I’m getting a Margaret Thatcher Doom mod?

What a marvelous day it is!

What a WONDERFUL DAY!

“Real world politics”? Did I miss the news that Undead Demon Margaret Thatcher is running in the next UK election?

I’m really starting to worry about steam. There aren’t any good alternatives that seem to be hitting mainstream. Not to mention every now and then the shop gets ever so slightly worse and more spammy looking. Steam was a god send when it first launched and I’d hate to see it become what it replaced

mesamunefire,

Im not sure what you mean.

Itch.io and GOG are great alternatives.

style99,

GOG is awesome. I only get games from them.

thermal_shock,

there are alternatives, but when you take shitty games (at least crippled games) and pack them into another client that also requires you to sign up, again, is it worth the effort? the games aren’t worth at that point in my opinion.

smeg,

Was it a godsend? I thought everybody hated it initially. And I feel like it’s only got better over the years as they’ve added more features.

Despite the best efforts of major publishers including Activision, Electronic Arts, Rockstar, Bethesda, and others, not to mention the far better deal offered to developers by Epic, Steam is more dominant than ever—and in the end, they all came crawlin’ back.

They’re all crawling back because they did not give it their best effort. They just wanted the full 100% of the sale revenue without doing the hard parts. To be fair to EA, for the first few years, it looked like they were actually going to try.

Dudewitbow,

its more or less that yes. they saw the money but not the time and effort to get users to use your platform.

and its not like impossible, as long as you can create games people will play and stay at itll work (e.g Riot), but they legit put such little effort in the launchers that it was creating a negative user experience, and never put in the money to make it better.

ryathal,

Yep same thing with all the streaming services, just taking the Netflix money was probably a better move for a lot of these services.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Eh, it’s so easy to hop between streaming services that I don’t have the same hangup there. You subscribe for a month, watch what you want to watch, cancel, and then go to the next one. You can always resubscribe later. When you buy a game on a given storefront, you’re stuck with their feature set forever.

exu,

As a user there simply was/is no incentive to use other stores when the game is the same price. There has to be a reason for me to buy somewhere else.
