If you ''own'' it on steam, uplay, origin, epic or any digital store besides GOG you dont own shit.
>besides GOG
gog lets you burn your games and dlc on a disc if you want to. no need to launch GOG ever again if you want to play it.
>If you ''own'' it on steam, uplay, origin, epic or any digital store besides GOG you dont own shit.
Just like console cucks believe that having digital files on a disc (as opposed to on a harddrive) means they own the game "physically", some PC gamers are legitimately so moronic they believe that GOG installers are somehow more fungible than digital Steam files on your harddrive.
Seethe steamdrone, gog installers are plug and play. No fuss no muss.
>Seethe steamdrone, gog installers are plug and play. No fuss no muss.
GOG installers are just zipped up game files, moron. There's no difference between installing a game from Steam and installing it from GOG.
>There's no difference between installing a game from Steam and installing it from GOG.
are you pretending?
you literally can NOT launch (almost all) steam games without the steam client
>you literally can NOT launch (almost all) steam games without the steam client
You can launch most Steam games without the client and the rest can be cracked. This is the same situation as with GOG since they also sell games that have DRM.
>You can launch most Steam games without the client
post your library and count how many games can be launched without steam client
go on. i'll wait.

you do realize gog galaxy isn't a launcher client right?

The vast majority of them, since I don't usually buy games on Steam that have DRM. With cracks I can launch 100% of them.
>you do realize gog galaxy isn't a launcher client right?
You realize that launcher clients aren't DRM and that lots of GOG installers have DRM on them, right? Do you realize that DRM existed inside PC games long before launcher clients even existed?

Turns out it actually got pulled off of gog because of the drama surrounding it. Probably for the best considering half the game doesn't fricking work without online connections.
I have over 400 games on steam only few can be launched without it. Stop lying.
You sound like that guy gog forums trying to say all steam games can be launched without steam. But he only plays indie trash and crack his games. Lol
Try cracking AA or AAA games that get updateds.
>I have over 400 games on steam only few can be launched without it. Stop lying.
Works on my machine. Stop buying games with DRM.

Yes and I'm also everyone else in this thread, schizo.

Just like the GOG games you have to crack.
GOG cracking not even the same as you cracking steam game's. Since that hose against thr license. But keep being dumbass for steam.

It is the same thing, those licenses aren't legally binding.

I'm sorry you feel for the "DRM-free" marketing, anon.
Your a lost cause. I'm not one supporting drm platform. Lol Keep telling yourself self steam pro drn free.

That's great news anon, I'm glad you've decided to stop supporting GOG and started pirating instead.
Welcome
You are extremely ignorant on the topic.
GOG installers work 100% offline, without the GOG client, without any login. Steam installers require you to log in to Steam and and be online. They're not remotely similar.
If Steam ceases to exist, everybody loses their Steam collections.
If GOG ceases to exist, everybody keeps their GOG collections.
>GOG installers work 100% offline, without the GOG client, without any login.
Not the GOG games that come with DRM.
>Steam installers require you to log in to Steam and and be online. They're not remotely similar.
Not the Steam games that are DRM-free.
>If Steam ceases to exist, everybody loses their Steam collections.
>If GOG ceases to exist, everybody keeps their GOG collections.
If Steam ceases to exist all my Steam games remain on my harddrive. If GOG ceases to exist all my GOG games remain on my harddrive. How is this so difficult to understand? You unironically believe that because GOG compresses the games with DRM in an installer that they're somehow different from Steam games.
>Not the GOG games that come with DRM.
name 1
>Not the Steam games that are DRM-free.

>If Steam ceases to exist all my Steam games remain on my harddrive.
and you can't launch most of them.

"Absolver - Boss re-matches are locked behind an online requirement. Boss loot too. As well as some techniques that can be used in offline play but can only be learned online. Absolver also installs the invasive EAC anti-cheat software even for single player and won't start without it."
>name 1 Steam game without DRM
Hades.
>and you can't launch most of them.
I can launch literally 100% of them, because of cracks.
Can you launch Absolver without gog galaxy or registering an account?
>I can launch literally 100% of them, because of cracks.
I can also do boss re-matches in Absolver if i use cracks.
>Can you launch Absolver without gog galaxy or registering an account?
You can not launch GOG's Absolver without DRM. You can launch Hades on Steam without the Steam client or an account.
>I can also do boss re-matches in Absolver if i use cracks.
Of course, my whole point is that there's no real difference between games on Steam and GOG. If you believe otherwise it means you've fallen for marketing.
>Of course, my whole point is that there's no real difference between games on Steam and GOG
You DO realize there are games that comes with DRM on steam, but not on GOG?
>You DO realize there are games that comes with DRM on steam, but not on GOG?
Which can be cracked. Most games that have DRM on Steam don't even exist on GOG in the first place, so I don't understand what your point is. I'd rather have games backed up with their DRM removed than not have games at all.
>Which can be cracked
Not an argument.
If your counterargument is that "it can be cracked" then no point is to be made against any DRM since all DRM can be cracked
>If your counterargument is that "it can be cracked" then no point is to be made against any DRM since all DRM can be cracked
That is literally my argument, that Steam and GOG games are practically the same thing.
i see your point.
then again, if a game comes with DRM on one store and not on the other then I will always buy on the other store. even if you can crack it.
replace the word DRM with troony shit, and crack with modding it out, and you'll see my point.
>then again, if a game comes with DRM on one store and not on the other then I will always buy on the other store. even if you can crack it.
Of course, but in my experience most DRM-free games on GOG are also DRM-free on Steam, and Steam games that aren't DRM-free usually don't come to GOG in the first place.
I do buy all old games on GOG though, just for the convenience.
Elder Scrolls Oblivion on steam requires launcher to start. GoG version doesn't require anything.
Not him but I can boot songs of syx just fine without steam running. There's a few others I own but most games require steam to actually be open to play.
na my switch cartridges work. I have a switch ive never connected to the internet and can play all my carts just fine. Get cucked PC KEK
Only problem with those cartridges is that they contain fricking switch games lmmmaaaaooooooooo
>points out that there's no difference between files on a disc and on a harddrive
>w-well my digital files are on a cartridge!
Console gamers are unironically so moronic they believe the storage medium magically makes the files "physical."
>a catridge contains a file therefore I win!
What point are you even trying to make? Steam and pals can delete the files from your PC when you try to play them. Nintendo can't wipe your cartridge to force you to buy a new one. So what are you trying to say?
man, you genuinely thought you were making a point there, didn't you?
cartridges havent been safe for awhile now either, even if they do tend to be a little bit better
games still ship with day 1 game breaking bug patches or DLC which makes you completely reliant on the internet even if you want the full experience
GoG installers is kind of the only storage format that remedies this, because you can either download and also store the patch, or download the newer version that's already patched and store that one instead. The installers have absolutely no dependencies aside from needing hard drive space to store them and a computer to open them.
>GoG installers is kind of the only storage format that remedies this, because you can either download and also store the patch, or download the newer version that's already patched and store that one instead.

There's no difference between this storing a Steam install.
>storing steam install
you do realize you need the steam client, and you need to log into steam, in order to use the backups?
steam fanboys dont even know their own software
>you do realize you need the steam client, and you need to log into steam, in order to use the backups?
You literally don't, they can be launched outside of Steam. Meanwhile a lot of GOG games come with online DRM.
I have 1300 GOG games that I never had any DRM. All them have offline installers. Stop making up lies.
See
I have two of those games. There both drm free with no issues. Neevr played other. 99% of GOG games are drm free. If game has drm it's light dlc like cosmetic stuff.
Most games on steam have steam drm with another drm on top of it. Only indie trash or porn games are drm free.
>I have two of those games. There both drm free with no issues.
They aren't.
>Most games on steam have steam drm with another drm on top of it. Only indie trash or porn games are drm free.
Most DRM-free games on GOG are also DRM-free on Steam and Steam games that aren't DRM-free usually don't exist on GOG.
The are drm Free. I have them and play them with offline install all the time. Not true lot games on gog still have drm on steam. But keep lying .
>The are drm Free. I have them and play them with offline install all the time
Just because games can be played offline doesn't mean they don't have DRM. Most games with DRM on Steam can also be played offline, obviously.
>Not true lot games on gog still have drm on steam. But keep lying .
I'm sure some do, but most don't. After all it's mostly indie titles and old games that are DRM free on both platforms. Either way DRM is still not an issue, because games can be cracked.
So playing the game completely offline maks still not drm free. I'm done talking to you. Lol
>So playing the game completely offline maks still not drm free. I'm done talking to you. Lol
That's right. Did you not play PC games in the 90s or something?
Being able to play the game fully offline with no internet is drm Ganker. You heard first from this guy.
>Being able to play the game fully offline with no internet is drm Ganker. You heard first from this guy.
Games that can be played offline usually have DRM, yes. Including console games. Steam games with DRM can also be played offline.
Maybe you don't fully understand what DRM is because you're an ESL?
There is actually guy ran report on steam. Still most games on steam have drm compared to the ones that don't.
not true, techlets, you can emulate steam
>you can emulate steam
>moving the goalpost
You don't need to emulate the gog launcher.
It's not moving the goalpost?
The claim was you can't play steam games offline without logging in. Which is false because you can, very easily.
I like gog, I use gog, stop being a homosexual fanboy.
Steam offline mode doesn't count. You still need to log into steam.
see
moron, emulating steam itself is still using steam to play steam games. Because, and try to follow me here, they require steam to run. I know you're moronic and you think that the crack and steamemu/goldberemu magically remove steam, but they don't. They just force it in offline mode with an account ready made into a bash.
Now, if you would:
techlet
>I know you're moronic and you think that the crack and steamemu/goldberemu magically remove steam, but they don't. They just force it in offline mode with an account ready made into a bash.
shittiest fricking bait
it doesn't force steam in offline mode at all you moron.
it's literally open source and if you weren't a braziloid you'd check and realize this
it EMULATES the steam API (hence why you replace steam_api or steam_api64)
don't speak without knowing what the frick you're talking about
kind regards 🙂
>Steam offline mode doesn't count. You still need to log into steam.
You don't.
You don't have to use offline mode. Have you even used Steam?
>Have you even used Steam?
Yes, unfortunately. I hate having to wait for steam to update itself, even though the single player games that I paid for have got no dependency on Gaben's malware.
>Yes, unfortunately. I hate having to wait for steam to update itself, even though the single player games that I paid for have got no dependency on Gaben's malware.
So play the Steam game without Steam, problem solved.
Sure, but piracy has been a pain in the ass ever since kickasstorrents went down.
You're in luck anon, you can just download the game from Steam and crack it!
I would genuinely like to know where I can download JUST the cracks without the entire games.
the crack is 1 file + an interface file you can generate
look up goldberg steam. it's a dropin replacement steam_api.dll
backup the old one and then drag it into generate_interfaces.exe to get the interfaces file that it needs, and then just replace it with the goldberg one
instant crack
I've used goldberg before, but it's not gonna work for other stuff
a steam install requires you to be online every single time you install the game, and it requires you to keep access to your account, and even then once it's installed many steam games cannot be run without steam running and more still stop working once they can no longer communicate with their steam installation due to workshop integration and matchmaking.
Granted, some games once installed behave similarly sandboxed to GoG installations without reliance on steam, but not all.
You cannot store the installation method and continue to install it as many times as you want without going through steam. What you CAN do with some simpler games is copy and paste the installation directory, maybe zip it, and hopes it works later. This method does work sometimes, but it's not intended and personally I've had pretty bad results with it. I really wish Steam would categorise these a little bit better, but obviously it isn't even on their priority list because they only serve to lose the dependencies that people think they have.
>a steam install requires you to be online every single time you install the game
So what? You only have to install it once.
>and even then once it's installed many steam games cannot be run without steam running
They all work if you crack them, same as the GOG games that have DRM.
>You cannot store the installation method and continue to install it as many times as you want without going through steam. What you CAN do with some simpler games is copy and paste the installation directory, maybe zip it, and hopes it works later.
These are the same thing, installers are essentially just compressed files.
this is literally cope. This is the actual, literal, definition of cope. I can play my carts just fine without a day 1 patch. I can play my games without internet. I can play my games even if Nintendo removes the games from the store. I do need to have my games 'verified' by Nintendos servers to play.
You have been cucked and marketed to like the little soulless NPCs you are to buy digital games. Get fricked.
>has to add files so his game even works

Yeah anyone that thinks they can just throw a disc in a console and play is lying. That hasn't been true since very early PS360 days.
literally just did that this morning, what the frick are you on about?
Oh no all those 2000 games on Steam aren't safe after all
Not the point dumbass. This shows you don't own the game and one more games will start being removed. But Ganker loves sucking steams dick.
That shit had DLC?
The DLC being removed:
>Voodoo Pack
>- Pirate Scimitar
>- Ceremonial Blade
>- Capacity upgrades for ammunition pouches
>Ubisoft Club content
>- Assassin's Creed III: Liberation HD desktop wallpaper (FREE)
>- Connor's Tomahawk (20U) - Receive the signature weapon of the assassin Connor Kenway.
>- Alligator Hunter's Hat (30U) - Receive a unique hat that shows your great skill as hunter of wild animals.
>- Additional memory (40U) - Relive Aveline's adventure in the snowy New York area from the point of view of her fellow assassin Connor Kenway.
What a load of nothing
>giving any video game company an inch
It's not nothing, this is a slow push of the overtone window, they're doing this little stunt to see if people will let them get away with it.
If it was purely accessed through Steam you wouldnt loose it. Thats how that works. I have a ton of games I can still use despite being removed from Steam frick off.
You won't lose it either way because the game will remain fully playable and in the library of those who bought it through Steam
Uplay will remove it
Physical releases won't work, because they use Uplay
Epic Game Store will remove it
Only Steam will keep it for those who bought it
It opens Uplay to run it. Thats why it says needs 3rd party account.
>Epic Game Store will remove it
Do you have a single fact to back that up?
>Do you have a single fact to back that up?
Yes, the copy is simply a link to opening the Uplay library copy, and the game won't work by closing Uplay mid game
>Physical releases won’t work
He's right moron, all physical releases require Uplay
Fricking Science Goy moron.
See
Despite having 15 hours played, I asked Steam for a refund since I will no longer am able to play the game due to the publisher removing it soon. They gave me my 20 bucks back
Nice.
This is why i use steam where this never happens
>Steam version unaffected
>Epic removes them forever
Uh? Epic Chink Store bros????
All of the stores will lose the DLC.
>the DLC
Like what?
Fair enough. They need those assets for their next game.
or you can just pirate all their shit since its all single player games. Also not owning the game is the reason why almost all games i own on steam are multiplayer. If The Big boy cuts the cord to their servers i wont be losing too much cash from the purchases on Steam.
>Consoles won't be able to install the games that have always online DMR

This is your brain on steam.
They literally admit steam has DRM but will rationalize why it doesn't count.
Its literally "its ok when valve does it"
Look anon GoG does not have enough games. Consoles were always the shittiest drm but also where all the kino was. Now we have that on PC too thanks to steam. Yes it has some drm which is shit but it also has all the kino
It is.
It is. On the store page there's always a warning caption if the game contains some 3rd party DRM like denuvo.
Steam doesn't force devs/publishers to use DRM, they do provide their own shitty DRM for free with steamworks (although it's painfully easy to crack).
Devs are free to upload DRM free games to steam though, I've often bought games on steam, installed them and then copied the game to another drive before refunding the purchase.
Steamworks is basically there just to say they have it.
Gaben doesn't give a shit about you
Are you moronic? Ubisoft games on steam require uplay.
>Ubisoft games on steam require uplay.
Not anymore
Yeah, because they require the ubisoft launcher or whatever it is called now. Ubisoft never dropped the double launcher requirement.
>Yeah, because they require the ubisoft launcher or whatever it is called now.
No, it won't after Uplay removes it, moron
I'm glad they're doing that if they are. Dual launcher is a bit annoying. I'll have to look up when they're dropping it.
Because the remade it and its called Ubisoft Connect now. Like how other Anons said, the DLC for it was connected to the old launcher.
kek, are steamtards really this stupid?
Ubisoft Connect is literally "Uplay" renamed you fricking moron, and Liberations won't need Connect after it is removed from it
Why do you keep spouting shit?
Was your plan to prove him right? Are you pretending to be moronic for (You)s?
>Old spyware getting removed means the new spyware that is its replacement is getting removed
You are a worthless moron
I am not moronic enough to rent games on steam, that alone makes me a thousand times more intelligent than you lol
Liberation already had Ubisoft Connect, and soon won't have neither of them, and be playable only on Steam
>Why yes, i barge into discussions without having the slightest clue of what I'm talking about?
I wonder what will happen to Steam when Gabe is gone one way or another.
Honestly Gabe gets all the credit but I think everyone who works on steam and uses steam wants it to not be cancer.
Only thing I know for sure in life is nothing last forever.
The son will keep the status quo? Valve isn't a publicly traded company rwith no reason to become one, especially now and in the future. That also means they can do whatever the frick they want
I made the mistake of still buying Ubisoft in 2022. Only to find out that their games crash to desktop worse than Bethesda. I deserve to be roasted by everyone here.
Which game?
Valhalla, I wanted to be a viking and raid stuff.
I just like the Trials games. Hopefully they're left alone.
Hopefully it's different people/departments. Should be fine if it's the case.
What fricking Ubisoft game is even worth playing?
Far cry 3
Rainbow Six 3
Rayman

Anno, old settlers. Maybe siege for honour and Heroes of might n magic if you count them.
All their triple a shit is tasteless normie garbage tho.

RAID, anon
Is a bad game. Play PAYDAY instead.
RAID is worse, if one hard drive fails in the series it can corrupt all of the hard drives. For ETERNAL storage pay for private cloud hosting.
What kind of DLC is this that needs to be removed? Does it involve any online services?
There is zero reason for a company to remove a product from Steam, preserving downloads there costs nothing.
If you aren't aggressively hoarding repacks and roms on your home array in preparation for when downloading software becomes an enforced criminal offense then you just aren't paying attention.
the only good thing about steam is that you don't waste cloud space on your own if you decide to deinstall one of the games. oh and I like achievements. they're fun sometimes.
this only applies to Ubisoft and Epic launchers too, dumbass
Ubisoft is one of the few publishers you have to avoide along with EA.
I'm learning that now.

Does PC even have a single decent exclusive left anymore?
Company of Heroes 3, '83 Tempest Rising, and Warno are infinitely more interesting than whatever garbage will probably come out for consoles at this point
god I fricking hate snoycore
Do consoles?
That miniclip tier trash would run on a cheap chinkpad. If that's the best pc exclusive you could pull up, all "rig" owners are total morons.
Hahaha, that's probably one of the best coded games made since OG DOOM.
Pchomosexuals never had and never will have a worthwhile exclusive lmao
>Caring about "exclusives"
>being this buck broken
Well if PC doesn't have any good exclusives, I am not going to waste my money on Nvidia's israeli ripoff cards. I'll let Microsoft israelites subsidise the costs for me.
Just play low end/indie games instead. I've gotten close to 300 hours in the steam version of civ 4 and a few hundred before i got it on steam.
Owning things is the opposite of what corporations want, how will they continue to make profits if customers are content with the old thing?
Strategy games, wargames and roguelikes, also mods.
Almost all relevant pvp games
Almost all mmos
Almost all strategy / 4x games
And the most funny about it? I barely play any of those, I mainly play on pc to play the best version of console games
Every game for free.
Doesn't matter. Never give them an inch. Companies that sell any digital shit should be required to support it forever and they can only stop when the company is bankrupt and doesn't exist anymore.
>steamies scrambling to defend this shit
KEK absolute state
It's sad really especially the ones believing steam is DRM free. How strong is gaben's brainwashing cum he squirts down his booticking fanboys throats?
You are absolutely right, but it's pointless to criticise steam on this board. Say anything negative about the obnoxious DRM and a hundred homosexuals will immediately commence their mental gymnastics.

All my switch games work without an internet connection. The only thing I'm 'missing' is the occasional day 1 patch that are rarely as important as they are on Xbox and cuckstation.
Why are Xbox, PC and PlayStation players allowing themselves to be cucked to such a large degree? It's especially disappointing coming from Ganker. When I learned that a large portion of Ganker are digital-only cucks, I realized there is truly no hope for this hobby. Sometimes I feel like the only person on the planet who refuses to allow gaming platforms to take advantage of me.
Anyway, never take anything you read on this website seriously, everyone is a hyprocrit.

steamdrones at this point are worse than tendies
at least tendies do agree that modern pokemon is trash
>Ubisoft is basically gifting Steam their entire backlog as retroactive exclusive
How the frick does he keep wining?
Imagine buying Ass Creed and years later you can't play it unless you bought it through Steam...
>How the frick does he keep wining?
They did their own thing and did it really well. Steam has so much QOL compared to other online stores that it just mogs them in every aspect. Being privately owned also means that Gabe doesn't need to bend the knee to morons who have no understanding of why it was so successful in the first place. At this point they can win by just sitting back and doing nothing, because they already got a strong hold on the PC market and third parties have no choice but to adapt to their methods.
>Old AssCreed will become a Steam exclusive
>Steam removes game/dlc/whatever

>consolegays seethe
Like clockwork.
It's the one situation where piracy is absolutely, inarguable morally justified(and maybe even legal depending on jurisdiction), since you're just repairing a defective product which you already paid for.
No ever said games you buy on steam will be yours forever. But games you play on PC will be, one way or the other.
removes game/dlc/whatever
This literally never happened
Steam will remain the only way to legally play the game
doesn't affect my pirate copy tbh
Is pirating the dlc after it becomes unavailable ethical?
yes, so do it and enjoy the dlc knowing Ubi can't take it away from you
Imagine owning a console and not being able to pirate.
how do people who b***h about this think they can deal with it? games have DRM so even if you save them on an HDD or whatever they still wont work, and if you remove the damn DRM then its just a pirated copy which everyone does and will continue to do even after steam or whatever dies

Pick one, they are not the same

Is there any evidence that Ubisoft will remove Ubisoft Connect from the Steam versions of those titles?
>Is there any evidence that Ubisoft will remove Ubisoft Connect from the Steam versions of those titles?
Yes, Ubisoft https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.polygon.com/platform/amp/23203824/assassins-creed-liberation-steam-availability-drm
Ubisoft Connect was both Uplay store and Uplay client responsible of the online features, so the game will boot up through Steam but have no online functionality or Uplay point rewards (free dlcs)
Quote me the part of the article that says that Ubisoft Connect will be removed from the Steam version of the game.
>Quote me the part of the article that says that Ubisoft Connect will be removed from the Steam version of the game.
“Our teams are working with our partners to update this information across all storefronts and are also assessing all available options for players who will be impacted when these games’ online services are decommissioned on September 1st, 2022. It has always been our intention to do everything in our power to allow those legacy titles to remain available in the best possible conditions for players, and this is what we are working towards.”
>CTRL+F removing/remove/removed or even Uplay/Ubisoft Connect: 0 results
By the way, even if your moronic theory is right, they mention all storefronts. Meaning that Epic Games Store and consoles too will get this hypothetical fix.
>Decommissioned from Uplay
>Will disappear from Uplay
>NOOOOO THAT DOESN'T COUNT
LMAO
I find it hilarious that Steam copies will work but not those directly bought from the Ubisoft store or PSN/Xbox Live
So much for the smiling man meme

Imagine coping so much that you have to repeat the same exact point over and over.
Imagine malding so much after your shitposting attempt backfires
>I'm not coping. I only need to recreate the same exact post over and over again for no reason
>You are laughing at me too much? T-that means you are the only coping, facts don't matter
>ubisoft
I don't think I own a single one of their "games" anyway
>Buy physical game because you want to "own your games"
>Game is directly linked with Uplay
>Ubisoft axes your game and it disappears
>Steam copy gets updated to work on Steam
I can't believe AVGN would do such a thing.
lol
That being said physical is still better for consoles just on principal. Console companies try shutting down the digital stores within like 5 to 10 years who wants to rent a game at 60 dollars only to play it once or twice before it is unplayable again. So fricking dumb.
surely if you are a collector of this size you have home insurance that covers this shit?
Money cannot replace no longer in circulation cartridges and limited edition physical releases.
>imagine notbuying physical
might as well just throw your money on the trashcan
notbuying physical
Physical copies don't work
Only Steam ones
Imagine buying physical, and then you insert the disk but Ubisoft Connect doesn't work
BRAVO you own the games
>imagine buying ubishit
there, fixed
>Not buying Far Cry 3 and Blood Dragon
Do it now on Steam
Steamies are no less moronic than consoleBlack folk
I get second hand embarrassment every time I see Gabe's wienersuckers call Epic a spyware while at the same time, they defend their proprietary mutt spyware.
>"pirating" games is bad
This is why pirates are actually librarians and you should be grateful for them not spiteful!
Bye bye, Mirrors Edge.
What if I have to pay for a PC to play them on? Games are just getting too advanced for my potato, bro...
>ubisoft
They did you a favor.
The game (that not one of you even plays- m-muh ubisoft BAD b-because Ganker said so) will still be playable and installable for current owners. This has been proven multiple times.
No wonder people on this site will believe anything they're told. Literal cattle believe if they see something enough times, that means it's true. Gives a whole new meaning to the gays reposting the stock photo and copypasta from a 2015 tweet.
I always believe the last thing someone told me. So right now I believe you anon until someone else contradicts you.
>will still be playable and installable for current owners
Only on Steam
>Only on Steam
>all storefronts
So why do they remove all that shit?
Do they want you to buy the goty or whatever edition with all the dlc packed with the base game?
Surely they see how bad this looks and they will lose a shitload of money
I have never bought a Ubisoft game/
cope, paypig. they can't remove them from my hard drive
>Pirated the entire AC series
>Don’t even play the games for the most part. Just install graphics mods and look at pretty historical locations.
You don't own them though. You own the license to play them with the stipulation that the license can be revoked at any time. Do none of you read the TOS?
That’s fraud though. Movies and books could never get away with doing this. It’s only because old ass world leaders don’t know what video games even are.
>tos
not legally binding
>Tos
You mean the cop out agreement that lets them get away with stupid shit
>Ubisoft
Not my problem sorry your favorite publisher is a shitty one
If I purchased it once in my life I will always pirate if it was made inaccessible or lost, especially by force. The Concept that you need to validate purchases with peers is laughable, You're argument is invalid.
>the company that defends literal rapists is evil
Shocking
steamies have been the cancer of Ganker for years. they speak about how free they are and how console players are cucked when in reality they are the most cucked of all. Imagine being a fricking steamie
You're right, must suck for them to be able to pirate a game right away if a minor inconvenience like this occurs.
>company that isn't steam does something
>pajeets have a mental breakdown crying about steam
Mindbroken EGShills really are pathetic
>cry that it happens
>never explain why
why is this happening exactly? is it russian racism again or something else
