if you could get fat manbabies to buy this in the mid-2000's then nothing you can do will make them leave for good. they're consumers for life, no matter how much they b***h.
They assume losing 80% of PC sales is worth the 30% cut they won't have to pay Steam/EGS... For some reason. Just another step in deevaluating the company in hopes of a buyout.
Blizzard also has Battle.net, which predates steam by quite a bit. They also make WoW which, at one point, was the most popular game around. Ubisoft's situation has nothing in common with Blizzard's.
No he fricking didnt israelite, he said its a advertising platform. You should hop off the nearest platform you can find before you attempt your israeliteery here again
Because you're a dipshit that doesn't know what goes on under the hood with Steam, or any pc game distribution software. Those servers ain't free or entropy proof.
Because everybody uses steam and trusts them due to insanely good forums and refund policy. Steam also is a massive advertisement platform, because people use it to search for games. Nobody uses Ubisoft Connect and 95% of people that know the game exists and are interested certainly wont bother if it requires them to get that shit.
>Nobody uses Ubisoft Connect
More like : People go out of their way to avoid Ubisoft Connect, because it's shittier than the epic games store and ran by horrible people.
And also the services that Steam provide like payment processing, storefront, forums, patching, updating etc. etc. not to mention the consumer base that [...] mentioned
Oh really? Damn I thought that 30% was representative of all stores.

I'm sure its variable. This doesn't even go into side contracts for preferred placement, like end-cap, register, and eyeball height. I'm sure there is similar deals being made on Steam.
And also the services that Steam provide like payment processing, storefront, forums, patching, updating etc. etc. not to mention the consumer base that
You pay Walmart a premium to be in their stores so that more people have eyes on your product. It has nothing to do with physics.
Because you own that corner of Bumfrick Street, and if you play your cards right people will come to seek your products (i.e Nintendo, Minecraft, Roblox)
This question can't be asked in good faith by someone who's actually not a complete moron, I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and just assume this is bait.
Ubisoft making bad business decisions as always
Their stock price has collapsed and there's nothing on the horizon, expect them to be delisted from the NYSE soon
I think I might actually just reinstall TOR and replay the Sith Warrior story for my cheap star wars fix. I didn't even know this existed until this thread, and I won't ever know this released until the thread laughing at poor sales figures or the inevitable Steam announcement a year or two later.
they've done this so many times and it never works. uplay or whatever what they want to call it now is complete garbage, I hate these forced cancer launchers no one likes
There has to come a point where data farming and user interaction with pointless software bloat can't make up for lost sales.
Are the French truly this pants-on-head moronic?
Data brokering is like a $250 billion industry. For comparison, the video game industry is around $220 billion. Don't expect the data harvesting to end anytime soon.
If EA couldn't succeed with this model with Battlefield, Mass Effect, Apex Legends, FIFA, The Sims, Star Wars Battlefront. I really don't see how Ubisoft will succeed with having their own games exclusive to their online store
That whole thing was the stupidest ass pull i have ever seen
The whole fricking trilogy is a one giant asspull formed from 3 huge asspulls. SW sequel trilogy is so fricking bad that I am still fully expecting that in a decade or a two, it will be de-canonized.
it'll come out on steam in a couple of years like every other game. they just want to profit off fomo to push their shitty launcher and not pay the 30% cut.
blizz is doing just fine with their own store
more competition is good for everyone, indie devs having to pay a 30% cut just to get to the market is moronic
Star Wars doesn't have nearly the same pull it did before all the woke shit started stinking up the IP. You're watching a corporation detonating their own IP.
>EA changes the name origin to fricking "EA app", some generic bullshit that further distances it as an actual legit store/launcher and instead is just useless bloatware for data mining for EA games you buy on steam >Ubisoft changes the name uplay to fricking "Ubisoft connect", some generic bullshit that further distances it as an actual legit store/launcher and instead is just useless bloatware for data mining for ubisoft games you buy on steam
It's tiresome
you have to be a shill, who'd care about Epic of all places.. maybe yer a fartnite pissbaby or even a UE5 homosexual, otherwise it is INCOMPREHENSIBLE that anyone would care about Epic, let alone speak positively of them... I mean why???
>that gabe wiener is deep, huh
Not that anon but if you can't fathom why people would hate a company that all but wiped any legal means to acquire unreal tournament off the face of the earth while also holding games hostage to a shitty store only fortnite zoomers tolerate while also at the same time MONOPOLIZING games to their store for a year while they spew venom at steam for being a "monopoly" which is just pure hypocrisy I have nothing to say to you except that you're not very smart.
How far up your ass is Tim? If you cannot fathom why someone would not wish to use his storefront then you're beyond saving.

not buying anything on uplay
not buying anything on origin
not buying anything on epic
not buying anything on riot whatever
not buying anything on the windows store
not buying anything on battle net or whatever blizzard is
not buying anything on ios
not buying anything on google play
not getting circumcised
simple as
How the game could've been saved:
Create your own character
Choose a side or be the third side
Channel your inner sith by murdering every Jedi scum NPC
and so on.
So if you buy this and it comes out on steam later, can you move your game over there or are you stuck with their shit store? I hate to say it but I am literally stuck to steam. I cant olay pc games unless its on steam. Even shit like genshin or star rail I out on steam because because it doesnt feel right unless I launch a game on steam.
You'd think after Disney let EA completely flub the franchise's vidya prospects for nearly a decade that they would do some fricking market research before letting other companies touch their IP.
At its core it's just double dipping, but Ubisoft must have done their math and realized Star Wars is big enough of a draw to get people to use that shitty Ubisoft Connect client exclusively. Keep in mind no matter where you buy your Ubisoft games you STILL need it installed to play them.
>achievements not popping up is still somehow broken and they've done nothing about it
The star wars shit can be excused with its brand. Avatar and AC mirage however cannot since both of those are also exclusive to Ubiconnect. Whatever business strategy they are doing only focuses launch numbers to make their own service look better to shareholders even if they would make more money releasing on Steam.
>Ubisoft is literally on the verge of complete collapse >Letting staff go and cancelling projects at absurd rates >Somehow still too moronic to sell their Star Wars game everywhere they can
Companies that force you to play games through their shitty launcher are so fricking stupid.
I would have probably bought a lot of Ubisoft games if I didn't have to play through their shit app.
looks likes some shitty soulless uncharted game
i would have preferred a reskinned ghost recon wildlands that entirely takes place on one planet like endor or something
how do they expect people to find it? nobody but the biggest star wars homosexual on pc is going to go through all that effort to find this (gay) game
free QA testing most likely. then onces all the bugs are hammered out, full release to all platforms
If you are going to pick a game to try and draw people to your shitty store aiming at hardcore Star Wars fans is probably not a bad idea.
>hardcore Star Wars fans
They still exist?
You'd be surprised.
normie socials are still filled with starwars memes, old one and the prequels (no Rey one unless it's to shit on them), they will never let it go
if you could get fat manbabies to buy this in the mid-2000's then nothing you can do will make them leave for good. they're consumers for life, no matter how much they b***h.
literally why
If it appeared in the OT someone will buy
I see no problem here. Would buy to complete my Jabba's Palace collection display.
is this some sort of work around for not being console exclusive? or are they just stupid?
>or are they just stupid
Greedy, and stupid.
>or are they just stupid?
worse
they're french and canadian
90% of the sells will be through consoles
PC sells with GAAS and longtails evergreens, something Ubisoft fails at anyway.
Dumb greedy move anyway.
They assume losing 80% of PC sales is worth the 30% cut they won't have to pay Steam/EGS... For some reason. Just another step in deevaluating the company in hopes of a buyout.
>Massive entertainment
And nothing of value was lost
>the only good game is World in Conflict
>afterwards, just looter shooters
The Division was okay. In concept.
It's so funny how out of touch the star wars franchise is with people.
Blizzard games also are not on steam
And that's a good thing
or on my computer
Blizzard also has Battle.net, which predates steam by quite a bit. They also make WoW which, at one point, was the most popular game around. Ubisoft's situation has nothing in common with Blizzard's.
NNNNNOOOOOOOO NOT ANOTHER FREE PROGRAM, SAVE ME FAT MAN
Pretty sure Ubisoft games use Denuvo
>Ubishit execs will take another fat L
>Ubishit execs will never learn their lesson and will double down instead
Why would they give 30% of their money to Steam?
so people on PC can know the game exists
Steam is an advertising platform as much as it's a market place
It doesn't work as a marketing platform for years, just a place with a loyal audience and bizarre tastes
>devs complain their games are at the bottom of the list
>barely do anything to market their games
damn, i wonder why
But you just said steam will market for them.
No he fricking didnt israelite, he said its a advertising platform. You should hop off the nearest platform you can find before you attempt your israeliteery here again
Because you're a dipshit that doesn't know what goes on under the hood with Steam, or any pc game distribution software. Those servers ain't free or entropy proof.
because losing 30% of 100k copies sold is alot better better than keeping 100% of 15k copies sold.
Yeah, they should stop selling their games on Amazon as well.
She got a israelite nose kek.
Because everybody uses steam and trusts them due to insanely good forums and refund policy. Steam also is a massive advertisement platform, because people use it to search for games. Nobody uses Ubisoft Connect and 95% of people that know the game exists and are interested certainly wont bother if it requires them to get that shit.
>Nobody uses Ubisoft Connect
Anyone who buys Ubi games on Steam does.
When was the last time ubisoft made a new game? Don't they just pump out the same ass creed game every year and call it a bussiness?
> I use steam while my friends use steam -> so everyone use steam
This is how internet became shitty hole
Learn english next time before you shillpost, gayboy.
>Nobody uses Ubisoft Connect
More like : People go out of their way to avoid Ubisoft Connect, because it's shittier than the epic games store and ran by horrible people.
Ubisoft wouldn't have to pay 30% as they're a big publisher anyway.
Give 30% to valve and in return vet 3,000% the sales
Why would they give 30% of their money to Walmart, EB Games, Gamestop, Target, JB Hi-Fi etc. etc.?
physics of actually existing objects
You pay Walmart a premium to be in their stores so that more people have eyes on your product. It has nothing to do with physics.
also retail takes 50%
Oh really? Damn I thought that 30% was representative of all stores.
I'm sure its variable. This doesn't even go into side contracts for preferred placement, like end-cap, register, and eyeball height. I'm sure there is similar deals being made on Steam.
And also the services that Steam provide like payment processing, storefront, forums, patching, updating etc. etc. not to mention the consumer base that

Yeah why put your business in a mall with shitloads of foot traffic when you could just put it on the corner of bumfrick street
Because you own that corner of Bumfrick Street, and if you play your cards right people will come to seek your products (i.e Nintendo, Minecraft, Roblox)
This question can't be asked in good faith by someone who's actually not a complete moron, I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and just assume this is bait.
It's Ubisoft, Valve would only charge big publishers like 15% or less.
70% of something is a lot more than the 100% of nothing they'll make selling their shit on their own irrelevant storefront.
Ubisoft making bad business decisions as always
Their stock price has collapsed and there's nothing on the horizon, expect them to be delisted from the NYSE soon
what the FRICK is ubisoft connect?
you give them email, visa cc details and they forward game files to you
>it's real
what
the
frick
did uplay die already?
It's Uplay's new name.
I think I might actually just reinstall TOR and replay the Sith Warrior story for my cheap star wars fix. I didn't even know this existed until this thread, and I won't ever know this released until the thread laughing at poor sales figures or the inevitable Steam announcement a year or two later.
>Brown Female Lead
>Ubisoft Connect exclusive
I think Ubisoft really thinks that star wars is still a big enough IP that people are willing to put up with all this to play their game.
they've done this so many times and it never works. uplay or whatever what they want to call it now is complete garbage, I hate these forced cancer launchers no one likes
Who cares. Game looks like shit
There has to come a point where data farming and user interaction with pointless software bloat can't make up for lost sales.
Are the French truly this pants-on-head moronic?
Data brokering is like a $250 billion industry. For comparison, the video game industry is around $220 billion. Don't expect the data harvesting to end anytime soon.
Lol, I didn't plan on playing Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wil... Starwars Outlaws. But this is hilarious.
If EA couldn't succeed with this model with Battlefield, Mass Effect, Apex Legends, FIFA, The Sims, Star Wars Battlefront. I really don't see how Ubisoft will succeed with having their own games exclusive to their online store
And the whole fleet was destroyed by the power of diversity. Then everyone clapped.
That whole thing was the stupidest ass pull i have ever seen
The whole fricking trilogy is a one giant asspull formed from 3 huge asspulls. SW sequel trilogy is so fricking bad that I am still fully expecting that in a decade or a two, it will be de-canonized.
>They already had the expanded universe to adapt movies from and just tossed it all in the bin.
I know most of the EU wasn't that great, but it could have been a good base for something better than what we have now.
Everyone of those had a Death Star laser, how did Palpy lose?
Oh you guys are the best! Saving us from your schlop by limiting where it's being sold. Respect.
it'll come out on steam in a couple of years like every other game. they just want to profit off fomo to push their shitty launcher and not pay the 30% cut.
I thought these moronic devs learned their lesson already. Did they not see even EA gave up trying to make their own store?
Fricking idiots.
I just wish all the cnc games were on steam 🙁
What's stopping you from pirating them and adding them to your steam library as external games?
blizz is doing just fine with their own store
more competition is good for everyone, indie devs having to pay a 30% cut just to get to the market is moronic
>playing blizzshit
lol
i'm just pointing out that there's plenty of pc games outside steam's ecosystem that are still extremely popular, *cough riot cought*
riot puts all their spinoffs on steam lol
you're confusing riot games and their licensed games. riot only has lotr, lol and valorant for now.
steam won, everyone kneels, cope
Star Wars doesn't have nearly the same pull it did before all the woke shit started stinking up the IP. You're watching a corporation detonating their own IP.
Ubusift are fricking moronic, division 2 had a maintenance patch yesterday "estimated time 3 hours"
8.5 hours later and they still had to rollback an event because it wasn't stable.
Since then my game keeps freezing
& yet you're still playing their games...
Just remind me which side of that equation is the moronic one?
not him, but I got Division 2 for 5$ on sale, they practically give away their old games
>EA changes the name origin to fricking "EA app", some generic bullshit that further distances it as an actual legit store/launcher and instead is just useless bloatware for data mining for EA games you buy on steam
>Ubisoft changes the name uplay to fricking "Ubisoft connect", some generic bullshit that further distances it as an actual legit store/launcher and instead is just useless bloatware for data mining for ubisoft games you buy on steam
It's tiresome
Haven't they tried it already then came crawling back to steam?
At least it ain't on Epic. That's a win in my book.
lol
console doesn't exist either I guess
that gabe wiener is deep, huh
Hi epic shill
Hi steam shill
you have to be a shill, who'd care about Epic of all places.. maybe yer a fartnite pissbaby or even a UE5 homosexual, otherwise it is INCOMPREHENSIBLE that anyone would care about Epic, let alone speak positively of them... I mean why???

How far up your ass is Tim? If you cannot fathom why someone would not wish to use his storefront then you're beyond saving.
Star Wars may not move many copies, but once AC Mirage, Avatar, PoP, and the Splinter Cell remake all drop they may gain some mindshare.
Did you laugh when you typed this? Because I laughed when I read it.
Are big publishers gonna do another push for "use our storefront and only our storefront for our games"
Obviously, the Black person cattle will buy it anyways and they probably rather want less sales than having to share with other platforms
What the frick is a ubisoft connect?
not buying anything on uplay
not buying anything on origin
not buying anything on epic
not buying anything on riot whatever
not buying anything on the windows store
not buying anything on battle net or whatever blizzard is
not buying anything on ios
not buying anything on google play
not getting circumcised

Okay all the good ones are free moron

any ubisoft game you play on steam forces you to log into their shitty service too
Oh yeah right I forgot that with for honor. Sometimes causes the game to not start at all.
Rather gabes cuck than tims wiener tbhf
>I refuse to buy game from launcher Y
>will buy game from launcher X, which launches launcher Y which launches the game
steam diehards are mentally ill
That will tell you just how bad Epic is if people go to such lengths to avoid it if nothing else.
You'd think after Disney let EA completely flub the franchise's vidya prospects for nearly a decade that they would do some fricking market research before letting other companies touch their IP.
True. How could they not know Star Wars fans hate women?
You'd think every nerd franchise by now would realise that their customers hate women, especially white women - but also niggettes.
At its core it's just double dipping, but Ubisoft must have done their math and realized Star Wars is big enough of a draw to get people to use that shitty Ubisoft Connect client exclusively. Keep in mind no matter where you buy your Ubisoft games you STILL need it installed to play them.

Bet you ubigays also have separate debit and credit cards too.
Someone post the numbers from the apple trial. The epic guys on here stop responding every time it's posted lmao
Well, that saves me $70.
Who am I kidding? I never buy Ubisoft games at launch.
Companies that force you to play games through their shitty launcher are so fricking stupid.
I would have probably bought a lot of Ubisoft games if I didn't have to play through their shit app.
Didn't Ubi try that once already and then came crawling back to Steam?
>we're losing money
>better make our new games exclusives again
I like how it's like every major publisher has these bs sexual harassment scandals. that's what you get for hiring all those useless females.
thank god
tired of these fricks and their shitty pc ports
>rethink its strategy
>back into the same loop
>Won't launch on steam
Ok I won't play.
looks likes some shitty soulless uncharted game
i would have preferred a reskinned ghost recon wildlands that entirely takes place on one planet like endor or something
>Ubisoft just making it's own tomb
ubishit launchers are the main reason i dont buy their games
oh no i cant play the shitty star slop game with an ugly main character
>why are people pirating our games?!
currently boycotting Ubisoft after they took away my account of the free games they gave away. frick them. yo ho, yo ho!
