EA hasn't added any game back to steam since they started release their new stuff only on Origin. I *think* that the only exception was Crysis 2, but i have a terrible memory and i could be wrong.

I choose to PM him after I said please PM me (which he choose to ignore seemingly), and even told him he's somewhat helpful at times. I get that JaseC might be some sort of celeb in this community, but threats and people saying 'chose your target wrongly' all create an image of someone who believes they're better than everyone else. I get it.

It's also improper form to run into a topic and start vainly accusing people, regardless of whether they deserve it or not. I thought that someone with 15,000 posts under his (metaphorical) belt would know this better than anyone.

This really gotta be a mistake. I don't believe for a moment that Ubisoft would remove their games from Steam after seemingly patching uPlay to play nicer with it.
I don't think you do

Just what I was thinking lol. Still hoping for a pricing error on FC4 or atleast Unity.

I don't want uplay. If Ubi get out of Steam I'll get their games from Origin if need be but not from uplay.
By the way the Origin Thread is still on Gaming and not Gaming Community. Guess the big move missed it.

Who accused who now?
I don't think you do
Please tell me exactly what I don't get.

Of telling someone they have a "cult of personality" or insinuating that they control the other users in this topic.

Nah, the color red is the only thing similar. Top looks different.

All of this is Community's fault.

I think I unlocked a wallpaper of Assassin's Creed 2 with my points. If only it were a screensaver, then we could travel back to 90s
Well Freedom Cry did get an error when Japan got Yen added to the store so who know. I'm probably going to be keeping one eye on it tonight for starters.
Can one person posting in a thread make a community?

Oh wow, haha.
I just went to the origin store and you can still purchase Assassin's Creed Unity there, jeez.
I really do have to wonder what is going on at Ubisoft.

hey, i never thought we'd get waifu drama in here. hold on, let me get my popcorn before ubisoft makes it uplay exclusive.
what? That was said in jokingly matter, hence "target"
He is "celeb" as you put it exactly because he's helpful. I don't understand, are you jelly or something? Be helpful and nice instead of snarky, we'll like you as much, promise

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I've mostly written Ubisoft off as a PC developer anyway because even though their games are on Steam you still need the Uplay program and their pricing is ridiculous. Watch Dogs was on sale last weekend and it was still $36. I picked up a copy to play on the PS4 for about half that. Typically games are discounted elsewhere for pretty cheap (with Uplay keys) but often get ignored on Steam. I think the last sale for Black Flag was 33% off, despite the game being discounted elsewhere multiple times prior down to $20 or less.
So I'm not that sad to see Ubisoft leave Steam, if that is indeed what's happening.

It was only a matter of time with how creepy it can be at times.
I think EA did something good recently, I just can't remember what. I was shocked. EA did something good for gamers? w0t?
I'm not 100% sure what your problem is man. I haven't been here long but JaseC been nothing but helpful to everyone. He's one of the few people on here that you can count on 99% of the time to have an answer for your Steam related problems/questions.
It's honestly seems like you're just looking for unnecessary drama.

Don't worry they have written all of us off years ago since we are just dirty pirates.
No. You were accusing a person who is mostly on-topic (and when off, mostly in replies and/or together with on-topic stuff) and helpful of being well.. i don't know what. But it wasn't nice nor true (imho). Which means you're targeting a person who is not what you are describing. Therefore, the wrong target of your anger or whatever it is.

Fitting that Black Flag would be the last major AC on Steam.
Mr. Luchador

I see...
So just because I don't post as often as someone else, I'm running into a topic and have less right to post. I see. I've posted in and out of the Steam threads for years. Are you denying that there isn't a cult of personality around JaseC and the avatar? Are you ignoring that JaseC has said I 'curb your attitude' when I simply suggested he should ask in the dedicated thread?
I'm not denying that JaseC is helpful, and he will tell you himself I mentioned this in the PM I sent him. I don't mind that at all, it's the avatar stuff I'm tired of, as it's been going on for years and seems to be whenever I look in the thread - so perhaps I have real bad timing.
So am I to take it that everyone in the community is fine with avatar talk in general? That we could all start talk about Neil Patrick Harris and posting pictures about him all the time too, for example.
I mean this topic gets discussed nearly every month at one point, so I can't be the only one who's slightly fed up with seeing the cult around JaseC's avatar. I find equally odd that there is now a dedicated thread for her, but it's seemingly rarely used (according to JaseC himself). Does this person in the avatar have any connection to Steam? Or is the only connection JaseC (which would indeed suggest a cult of personalty).
Black Flag was 50% off during the AC day of the Summer Sale, actually.

Of course. Upay is the proper way to enjoy those titles.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
If Ubisoft's recent moves aren't mistakes, I think it is important to clarify that this is slightly different from what EA did. EA suddenly stopped supporting Steam in favor of Origin and removed titles that were already released.
The writing has been on the wall for a while, though. Here's me earlier in the year talking about uPlay:

That would mean %5-7 of PC gamers uses uplay, which is probably a post apocalyptic scenario Ubi is working on right now. I assume it'll include some iconic garments.

Someone post Ariana Grande pics or something.
Are you forgetting your accompanying "nice" little picture? It did not look like a "simple suggestion", it looked really mean.

Which made it even stranger that it wasn't even discounted that much recently when it was on sale.
I think I saw something like this in a recent South Park episode.

Your avatar is pretty good.
I was so upset back when TEW was coming out and you covered it up D;;;;;;;;
Finally we have some numbers!
those 5% were loyal customers that bought the games directly form uplay, all others are filthy pirates!
I don't think enough people are realizing the greatness of this response.

Because I'm feeling charitable and harbor no ill will towards you (and don't want to see this thread bogged down by threadshitting), I'll respond.
No. I'm saying that anyone who barges into a thread and insults people with little provocation deserves to be called out on it. I'd expect the same from others if I did the same thing.
Your point is irrelevant. Jase is a notable member because he's helpful and courteous to others, just like many of the posters in these threads are. You could say the same thing about a lot of other members with notable avatars - their discussion is playful and in good fun in times when there are no sales or a lack of news.
The way to discuss that is through a tactful approach, not running in and suddenly proclaiming that you're against everyone because you perceive one of the members to have developed a "cult". As far as I'm concerned, everyone in here is equal. I suggest you drop the matter, because it's extraneous and taking away space right now from topics that are more important.
Let's get back to the topic at hand - how much Ubisoft sucks.
