Yeah, I thought the same thing actually.
The other point to be made is that uPlay has sales on its site far far less often. Moving future Ubisoft titles to their storefront only will result in consistently more expensive games, even years later.

But what if I told you a certain percentage of that 5% of uPlay customers got their uPlay games for next to nothing.

How am I barging into a thread? Please explain that one to me. We've tried tactfully discussing the avatar situation for well of a year and it's never been resolved, and requests have outright been ignored. There are people who have stopped posting in the Steam thread because of it.
Regardless of what subforum this thread is in, you don't get a nice community of people by literally only talking about the one single thing the thread is about. You get side banter and comments and insights in every single large thread on any forum basically on the whole internet. It's like going to a book club... sure, you focus on talking about that book, but there's still small talk and other socializing going on.
Your post didn't come off as "helpfully suggesting the official thread", it was more like "your entire post is that last one sentence and you are an egotistical moron and I don't like you or what you are doing". If that ISN'T what you meant you may want to learn how to communicate via text better.
Hahaha no it's just another load of bullshit numbers made up. I'm willing to bet that from that mythical number, that those who did pirate the game were never going to buy it anyway, as in were never their customers. But go read the Steam Hubs right now and you can see the flippant reaction people are making because the titles disappeared on Steam that you could say some of their actions (including the use of Uplay) has increased the number of non-customers. Yeah I like that, non-customers.
None of us are saying that you have less right to post or whatever just because you don't come in here as much. But you're accusing us for being in a cult of personality because of all the Saoirse pictures? Maybe because you're not here enough but by now all the regular on SteamGAF are used to being around one another that we really don't care if there is 1 or 2 Saoirse pictures here and there. We're at the point where we know that those kind of things will most likely not spiral out of control again.
You missed it a couple of days ago when there were a ton of copons avatar quoting. But does that mean we're a cult of copons too? no, it's just lashman having some fun. Honestly if you're sick of seeing Saoirse stuff then thats your problem. Maybe you should write a program to auto block any picture of Saoirse on GAF.
But coming in here and start accusing people of things and creating unwanted drama is not cool. May I suggest it's time you should take a break?

I do!!!
So, Ubi is removing ONLY the newest games (The Crew, AC Unity and FarCry 4) or they will removed every Ubi game from Steam?
ok this is pretty good stuff

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Complaining about the state of the Steam thread seems pretty worthless at this point. We're already in Gaming Community.
I mean, I guess they could move us to off-topic community but that'd just result in even less people seeing the thread than just outright deleting it.

I think you need to step back from your computer and take a deep breath.
Who is "we"? So there's suddenly a movement to ban avatar talk? Even though many of the posters (that I've seen) enjoy it?
And yes, you are barging into a thread. At a time when there are more interesting or relevant matters to discuss (namely, the Ubi situation) you come in and start throwing around accusations. You're helping no one.
Just stop. Don't post here for the rest of the day, and come back when you've cleared your head and can debate in a civil fashion.

and then posts a gif saying no more interenet. OK.
Fair points. I shall be sure to update you all on my interests as we go forward, so we may grow closer as a community.
... so we can't even discuss this without silly gifs and people saying I need to stop? There are more people than me tired of the avatar, they've simply left the Community as every time they mention it a bunch of defenders pop up and start telling them to stop posting.
It seem like you have trouble understanding the message we're trying to tell you. But you seem to be in a negative and antagonizing mood right now. I told you "suggest" not "command"
But if you wanna be a sour patch then go ahead. At this point you're not doing anything more than griefing unnecessarily.

I know where this was taken but can't find the exact matching image. This is the closest match in lighting available. Taken at the Barry McCall Phot20graphy exhibition launch, May 15 2012, Copperhouse Gallery, Dublin, in aid of ISPCC.
Looks too good to be a video capture, although there are video interviews from the event.

Well, if you're going to rag on someone seemingly out of the blue, don't be surprised when people respond to you in that fashion.
Like I said, at a time when we're talking about a potential second publisher pulling its games from Steam, you're picking the worst possible time to bring up a subject that (a) isn't true, and (b) isn't relevant to the discussion and disputed by others.
Just stop. Please. For me.
Well yeah I'm a guy.

Don't worry kids, we're just at the stage of the divorce where Mom and Dad still live with each other but can't even look one another in the eyes anymore.
Soon we'll be spending weekends in Dad's new thread and getting to know our new Uncle Mod at Mom's.

Ubisoft probably took the absence of the STEAM thread on gaming side as a sign that the service's popularity was waning and quickly removed their games.
So to that mod who moved us into Gaming Community.
Thank you, you da real MVP.

Mr. Luchador in pm battle with me like 2 days ago said:
you got your wish so...
delicious salty strawberries
Are you talking about that Aussie thingie, where people could get most of uplay games free, per chance?
Yeah. So jelly.
What are you wearing, Jake from State Farm?
That's been my Ubisoft policy for years.
In reality, I haven't really bought anything from them.

Same, broke the rule for South Park though.
probably khaki.
On topic:
So the cheapest AC:Unity is right now is on Indian Origin store, then Uplay, and then Steam?
Edit: I'm just going to ignore Luchador now, because this is getting ridiculous. Complaining about avatars is derailing the thread even more than people posting them 100 times over.

So I'm griefing because I don't like/enjoy something you do? I have explained my reasons why, I'm sorry you can't understand or even remotely appreciate how it might not be to everyone's liking.
Anyway, I'm talking to JaseC in PM
True. We're in community now, so I'll be sure to share my interests with people too. I'll also be sure to share all PMs with the rest of the community.
me too, bro, me too, that might converted me to uplay
no chances, but still (><)
it's getting funnier and funnier
so... Origin and Uplay threads are still in gaming, and they sell each others games? while steam...
Nobody sees a pattern here? (><)

I only played assflag because it came free with my card. I probably would've waited for a $5 sale, like I did with ac3 and every other PC AC game I've bought. Meh.

Yup, this has been the way for me. I think someone gifted me a copy of an Assassins Creed game, but other than that I haven't spent much of anything at all on Ubisoft output.

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.
Well in this case you did alright, because South Park has Steamworks. Meaning even if you bought it on Origin or Uplay, it came with a Steam key and didn't have Uplay DRM.

$10 or bust.
Really, I'll just wait for a sale like I always do. Ridiculous prices across the board.
I'm reluctant to disturb you in this moment of distress for us all, but have you found a way to fix idlemaster already? No pressure, just asking
Got South Park day one on General principle, but also on Obsidian's pedigree and the Paper Mario gameplay.
