    While I don't like KmarkoPL's needless hostile response, you don't need to respond. While I am disappointed that Far Cry 6 may not be on Steam, I wouldn't let that stop me from playing it on PC. The only difference is that you're buying the game through a different vendor using their platform. Blizzard games are never on Steam and I play their games all the time. Also, those who use Steam tend to complain about Ubisoft games. One of their complaints is that you need to launch both Steam and Ubisoft Connect. If you already have a Ubisoft account, I don't see how this is stopping you now.

    i own every farcry game on steam and i do not want to buy it out side of steam the complaint about ubisoft games on steam are less to do with u play and more to do with things like how farcry 3 is practically unplayable and has been that way for years without a fix in sight and far cry2 in order to get it working you have to mod it your self because it is that broken

    you want to talk about a company's greed how about ubisoft adding grind to single player games just so they can sale XP boosters and all sorts of other micro transactions to single player full price games as ware steam is charging 30% because they have the store front they have the server cost of holding all games on steam on so the majority of the cost is on steam and it dose not cost steam any less if a game is sitting on their server and not being sold

    also why do i like steam over every other PC game store one simple reason my steam library is on a secondary drive so if for some reason my PC died i can just pull the drive put it in a new PC and all my games are just their no need to re download or reinstall them and that saves me at least 3 days of trying to redownload my games it also means i can clone it and throw it into another PC and have my steam library on two PCs in less time then it would take to download them all so even if farcry 6 was more expensive on steam i would still get it their over every other store out their for that one reason alone

    to me this is just another game series i love telling me im not the gamer they want to cater to anymore so im just parting ways with another series i love

    to be honest main stream games have lost all their appeal to me and i practically only play Indy games anymore because of all the BS going on with the big gaming publishers like ubisoft and how they seem to be just anti gamer greedy corporations

    hear is my belief let the games speak with their wallets put your games on every store and see ware it sales more

    Take it easy. Sooner or later it will be definitely available on Steam as well. Money is money. And Ubisoft knows it very well. Same as EA knows.
    So if yes, they will make some exclusivity for Uplay, then e.g. for Epic, but in the end it will be available everywhere.
    But if they are clever, they will make it day1 available everywhere. Gamers can then decide and every purchase counts.
    It is in their interest to cover all main platforms to make as much profit as possible.
    Easy.

    I see no basis for this being true.

    Not being on Steam makes Ubisoft much more money for selling fewer copies.

    As you say, 'money is money' and a few Steam 'hold-outs' really won't change that.

    I'm no longer having to open two launchers for a Ubi game. I buy it directly on the Ubisoft connect thing and that is all.

    What concerns me is if the Denuvo will be that aggressive with cpu usage once more, because if i see it as hungry as it was with fc5 again, then I'm not buying it on release.

    It made no sense to buy it on steam, if you are just going to have to open up a second launcher anyway to play it. While I would like to continue my collection of Farcry games owned on steam, I hate having two launchers to play them.

    Then they should negotiate better, I agree with the fact that steam, whatever you may feel about them is still the gaming mechanism for computer, too many of us have hundreds of games tied up in Steam and will always be the go to platform. The Ubisoft platform is annoying enough just having to log into it as well as Steam for the games that do play there!

    I suspect Ubisoft are banking on most players tolerating some annoyance to play the games they want (and delivering Ubi with the profits they want).

    To each his own. But to claim one won't buy a game because it's not on steam... well.. to each his own. I have over 200 games on Steam... but that's not going to stop me from playing Far Cry 6, which is with little doubt going to be a world class gaming experience.

    To each his own...
