I think you are hoping for a little too much.

EGS, not ESG. Unfortunately.

 

[LordCBH]

Ubisoft finally realizing they can’t justify missing out on by far the biggest collection of potential customers on the platform.

 

[Ridicululzz]

Great move on their part.

 

[Topher]

So many times gamers point the best way forward to these companies, only to be ignored until it bites them in the ass. This is a pretty good example of that.

Couldn't live with your own failure... where did that bring you?

 

[Plague Doctor]

Well, Timmy boy's tweet later on will be entertaining.

 

[ssringo]

I'm still not buying their games at launch. if at all

EGS, not ESG. Unfortunately.

Also, somebody with $.02 of sense finally made a smart decision in Ubisoft. Will wonders never cease…

 

[AJUMP23]

They will really get to deep sale quickly.

 

[TrebleShot]

we prayed for days like these.

All roads lead back to big Gabe

Stock falling to $11.

Imagine being a CEO of a major gaming company, being paid millions, and still not understanding the videogames market.
Ubisoft is being run my monkeys.

 

[KyoZz]

I would love to be a fly and see those execs panicking and parenting Yves.

Ubisoft is done for​

Fixed the title for you... hopefully.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Things are looking up.

 

[Jaybe]

Ubisoft learned the hard way that 12% of $0 is $0

Starwars Outlaws is the last straw, but I think we all know Frontiers of Pandora also underperformed as an Epic exclusive, and that was a big budget game with some of the most amazing production/graphics at launch.

Abandoning Epic Games is a good step forward, but it's not enough. Ubisoft also needs to shutter their dogshit Ubisoft Connect store and just accept that Steam is PC gaming. Close it down and allow players to redeem their Ubi library on Steam.

Valve is good at this, the rest of you are not.

first EA , activision and now ubisoft lmao they all came crawling back to steam .

first EA , activision and now ubisoft lmao they all came crawling back to steam .

meanwhile, Playstation is extremely tempted to repeat their mistakes for the next 5 years.

Microsoft also avoided Steam for a while.

I agree with you there. EA shuttered the EA app for many of their titles recently. It won't be missed.

 

[RoboFu]

LOL when they all lose money they come crawling back. but is the fanbase still there?

another extremely cringe anti-woke poster. don't be this guy, friends.

 

[Kerotan]

EGS probably just stopped paying the asking price. As soon as they offer enough again they'll be back on the EGS. That's assuming they do.

 

[Buggy Loop]

I don’t even know who you are

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Microsoft also avoided Steam for a while.

Fable 2 and 3 are still not available on Steam despite new Fable in development because Microsoft hates common sense.

 

[HogIsland]

I don’t even know who you are

talking about tim, not you

 

[CliffBronger]

You will still have to log into ubisoft connect if you buy on steam just like with EA games on steam, so it's just a launcher for another launcher.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Now imagine this fucking tool is a millionaire. Truly America is a land of opportunity.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

But for some reason, only Sony gets hate for it.

And Sony doesn't even require their own launcher!

Spoiler

Sony executives, don't even think about it

Great to hear, man. Great to hear it from you too!

UbiSoft Connect, EA Origin and Battle.net are going to have to hand anyone with libraries a bunch of steam keys before they're deprecated permanently.

Its what happens when out of touch MBAs work for places that need to understand the community they serve.

 

[//DEVIL//]

The is is the only way these idiots learn. The hard way. Now you lost so much money and missed the hype window sale and you still going to pay steam 30% cut or whatever

Bravo for being an idiot .

I was hoping they keep doing this till they go out of business but whatever this is close
