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.

If it’s denuvoed you’ll have to wait for the crazy bigot Empress to crack it. Could be a while.

30 seconds of googling revealed that someone already packaged the Switch version for PC with a preconfigured emulator.

I'm still kinda shocked there isn't anyone else trying. Maybe you need to be crazy to be a legend.

cracking Denuvo shit must be incredibly challenging.

It is, but i don't think for a second empress is the only person to stumble across the solution. Unless it's something so crazy only a crazy could do it.

I know there are a lot of reasons why it's a harder choice to make; you can't share the secret because that's a security risk, you can't make as much money, you are at greater risk. I guess i just miss the old days where people into tech were anti establishment and into doing things because it was cool.
