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.

Man what are you on and whats with these pointless anti steam propaganda. I get why people would be against steam but this literally isn't one of them.

So let me repeat that. NO ONE WANTS IT TO BE STEAM EXCLUSIVE. PEOPLE ARE AGAINST PLATFORM EXCLUSIVITY. To me you look like weird one having some weird fetish for hating big bad companies. Everyone knows the problems of monopoly and I have also taken course on economics so I am somewhat aware of it but I buy things where it's convenient and if it isn't I would rather pirate it. Doesn't matter if it's stream or gog or epic, you are simply barking at the wrong tree mate.

It sounds like we agree then. Ideally everything would be on every platform, but that's unrealistic so OP is pretty much complaining needlessly. It's good there are different platforms and competition.
