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.

Is this a troll post? Who cares in which store it's available, just get a physical copy.

Steam shills are really mind boggling.

Most PC games nowadays do not have physical releases.

Is this a troll comment? You seemed to have missed the point of the post.

PC gamers love PC gaming because it's more open and you're not locked into a certain ecosystem. Ubisoft artificially limiting their online release to two launchers (both known for being poor quality/buggy/feature lacking) is frustrating. Buying a hard copy might be possible, but Ubisoft did this on purpose to squeeze out a little extra profit. It shows they're more than happy to put profits over customers. A customer being annoyed this release excludes their preferred launcher doesn't make anyone a shill.
