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.

    So it’s available on every major console which serves a almost 200 million people (absurd to call that irrelevant) and 2 free launchers for PC but OP is mad because it isn’t on steam, which regularly serves as the only location for a game to be released on?

    Their argument would hold water if they were saying it should not be tied to a launcher. But they are mad it is not on steam. That’s ridiculous. They have 5 ways to play it across 4 hardware options.

      What’s absurd is bringing up hardware platforms OP doesn’t have access to as equal options, you’re being ridiculous. It’s obvious OP won’t be buying a new device for a freaking Prince of Persia.

        They’re whining about using freely accessible launchers dude. I don’t know what else to tell you. They have 5 ways to play this game. I’m not sympathetic.

        Well “freaking prince of Persia” warranted this rant apparently. I didn’t place the importance on it. OP did.
