Why is it that every thread like this has one moron who says this? Of course not, moron. You own it, you keep it. It's no different than a retailer removing the game off shelves.
The DLC comes from Ubisoft servers so you can only play the core game in steam: >Unfortunately, all the DLCs for Assassin's Creed games with discontinued online services will be unavailable once the online services are shut down.

Well - that's new. That means when attempting to install through Steam even the base game will no longer be able to be played? Guess that has something to do with whatever loopy screwed-up DRM-solution Ubisoft wrapped these abominations in.
Oh man.. EU member states are going to have a field day with this one...
That's for one of the games which was an online only multiplayer game. Obviously the game will be entirely non-functional when they shut down the server.
They also shut down the online services which makes games like Anno unplayable since 80% of it depends on it. But apparently BlueByte is trying to do something about it.
Always online DRM. Ubisoft's custom super-intrusive solution that shits the bed and doorslams you out of the game if your network drops for even a fraction of a microsecond. Even in the middle of a save taking place - meaning you're stuck with a corrupt one.
You still had to use that shit Uplay even if you buy through Steam so what's the point of doing this? You're just losing one faucet of exposure for your games to be sold through.
>space junkies
It's probably just some long-dead shooter, but it's absurd that they put it on discount in the last sale and then made it literally unplayable.
>Cutting costs.
This. Ubisoft is ship that's way passed where you'd call it sinking. Best to start calling it sunk.
For the passed months they've been actively positioning themselves in the market as being ripe and ready for a take-over. Either they get bought out, or they get snuffed out.
I enjoyed 5 a lot more than 3 or 4 except for the forced story missions. Fortunately I couldn't be bothered to finish it so the shitty ending didn't bug me. The DLC was surprisingly decent though.
Now; what REALLY should get your noggin' joggin' is that they were still selling these games like hotcakes during the Steam Summer Sale just the other day, without so much as a single cloud in the clear blue skies. Ubisoft were literally sitting on this notice and waiting to squeeze the last few drops of blood from these titles before calling it quits on them, and in the process leaving all their fresh new 'owners' (for as much as you can 'own' a digital license) with a dud.

Steam makes controllers work without having to download some six axis bullshit. You don’t need a launcher in a launcher. Steam serves a purpose this shit does not and only gets in the way. What purpose does uplay origin or the rockstar launcher serve? There games worked fine on steam before that or even fricking better just release it on gog but no they have to have their drm that doesn’t even stop piracy it just pisses people who bought the game off and they retroactively add it into shit like GTA 4. There is no comparison not to mention most exe of steam games will run without steam unless the dev chose to make it tied to steam steam doesn’t force it. Now if we’re back in 2003 before you were born I would agree with your statement on steam but we’re not that was 20 years ago at this point and steam isn’t a useless piece of shit that you had to get just to play half life
>it's not like the games are unplayable
According to Ubisoft's site, the VR shooter in the OP will be >"As a multiplayer only title, you will be unable to play the game going forward."
It has bots but they probably rely on Ubi servers. The DLC for a bunch of games is being removed, so some parts of games will definitely be unplayable without piracy now.
i grabbed some of the stuff they are delisting in case you are interested
https://www.mediafire.com/file/dpyew4pzt4wop9j/ubishit.7z/file >inb4 skidrowreloaded
yeah yeah i know it's not an official scene source, it works
Better hope that someone gets the French or better EU consumer protection into gear to give Ubishit a new butthole. It'll take time but shit like that certainly won't fly if challeneged.
How is this shit allowed? Steam has always allowed people to download games that aren't sold in the store anymore if they bought a key.
If they do this then what's stopping them from arbitrarily removing people's games in the future?
Is there a thread in the Steam forums to talk about this?
But Valve had to allow this on their store.
I'm sick of it, they already allow publishers to sell games with third party DRM like Denuvo and it's also ok to require more than one launcher. I'm sick of Valve having no standards.
>go to walmart >buy a jar of mayo >wait 3 months >used up the mayo by now >go to walmart >that jar of mayo isn't there anymore >they stopped distributing it to walmart >WALMART ALLOWS THIS????????
you sound unhinged
It's not about delisting the games. It's about being unable to play them even if you own them. They're all tied to Ubisofts servers so without them you won't be able to download and play them, even if you bought them on Steam.
They make it amply clear when games have denuvo or an extra launcher, if you buy the game despite that it's on you. Demanding corporations take away options from you to keep you from making bad decisions is just infantilization, be a grown up and accept that you got shafted due to a bad decision.
Who says I was? I'm too paranoid about this stuff to buy any Ubisoft game.
Furthermore, the game was never advertised as "it will stop working in September of 2022", you are being disingenuous.
Didn't Sonic Mania very specifically not list it had Denuvo on it for some time before people pointed out it was there and they had to add it to the store page? I feel like there's others, too. One of the only two curators I bother following on Steam exists literally just to point out if a game has Denuvo or not, and there are more than a few cases where the game uses Denuvo but it isn't listed anywhere on the store page.
>ubisoft put their games on steam >then took them off to push the cancer known as uplay >then realized no one really liked uplay and started putting older titles back on steam >flip flop again to taking them off steam

Hard to tell with the current state of games. Have you been paying attention to what people like and appreciate now? Don't blame that anon morons have lowered the bar so low.
SO I have a non working UBISOFT game in my steam library and can do jack shit about it?
It appears so.
Depends on your countries customer laws.
You can still play delisted games, tough luck if the game relies on online features though.
are you unironically stupid anon anon anon
You can still play them, just cant buy the game anymore if you dont own it.
>SO I have a non working UBISOFT game in my steam library and can do jack shit about it?
Why is it that every thread like this has one moron who says this? Of course not, moron. You own it, you keep it. It's no different than a retailer removing the game off shelves.
and literally nothing of value was lost
Your DLC will eventually fade away due to loss of data through rotational velocidensity so Ubisoft are doing you a favor.
I also keep my music in FLAC
I do also, but unironically.
I was already avoiding those games because having to deal with UPlay is such a pain in the ass
this means they will be removed from my library?
no. if a game is delisted you can still install and play it so long as you already own it.
The DLC comes from Ubisoft servers so you can only play the core game in steam:
>Unfortunately, all the DLCs for Assassin's Creed games with discontinued online services will be unavailable once the online services are shut down.

It's Steam. You own nothing.
But are you happy?
Not yet, but soon, right?.
>you own nothing
No I'm pretty sure I do considering it's on my hard drive. If steam went down today I'd just get the cracks for all of them
do what you want 'cause a pirate is free
>Ubisoft is starting to leave Steam
Oh no! I'll miss their classics like....uh......Far Cry 3?
Is it just gonna delete my fricking game? What the frick?
you're all fricking idiots.

>Please note this title will not be accessible following September 1st, 2022
Well - that's new. That means when attempting to install through Steam even the base game will no longer be able to be played? Guess that has something to do with whatever loopy screwed-up DRM-solution Ubisoft wrapped these abominations in.

That's for one of the games which was an online only multiplayer game. Obviously the game will be entirely non-functional when they shut down the server.
Anon; that notice is present for the base Anno 2070 game as well...
https://store.steampowered.com/app/48240/Anno_2070/
>ITT: newbies
you don't lose your games, delisting simply removes the store page and ability to buy the game.
But this removes them from Uplay/Ubisoft Connect which in turn grants you the DLCs.
They also shut down the online services which makes games like Anno unplayable since 80% of it depends on it. But apparently BlueByte is trying to do something about it.
Anno is an online game? What? I pirated it and didn't feel any online.
Always online DRM. Ubisoft's custom super-intrusive solution that shits the bed and doorslams you out of the game if your network drops for even a fraction of a microsecond. Even in the middle of a save taking place - meaning you're stuck with a corrupt one.
1800 has a good offline mode fortunately. 2070 locks you out of your Ark.
You still had to use that shit Uplay even if you buy through Steam so what's the point of doing this? You're just losing one faucet of exposure for your games to be sold through.
So...what Ubisoft games are even worth getting before they all get delisted?
None
>oh no, I won't be able to play ubisoft games!
get better taste
I have not bought a Ubisoft product since Rayman Legends.
This, but Origins instead of Legends.
Why the frick would anyone buy ubishit in the current day?
Based
I’m just waiting for them to all be on Xbox gamepass so I can not play them there too
I don't think I own a single ubishit game. Most aren't worth a 90% sale price and they force you to use their launcher.
The last ubisoft game i've played was Anno 1800, ever since they left steam they just kept on pumping out bullshit.

It's probably just some long-dead shooter, but it's absurd that they put it on discount in the last sale and then made it literally unplayable.
why are they doing it anyway?
I get licensed games or games with licensed soundtracks but whats the deal with those ubi games?
Cutting costs. They're shutting down servers for a lot of games.
and people STILL support this garbage company?
when was the last time they made a good game? I think it was the last rayman
>and people STILL support this garbage company?
never underestimate human stupidity, also known as casual gamers

Looks like nothing of value was lost. Why are people upset again?
should i get farcry3 before they delist it, i never played any game in series and this one they said is best
Far Cry 2 is better.
i heard its archaic and that story in 3 is better
there isn't a single far cry game with a good story
hell, ubisoft hasn't made a good story since... have they ever
get 2 instead, it doesn't require uplay at all
No because only Blood Dragon is good and since it's DLC you won't be able to play it.
blood dragon is standalone
Fake news
blood dragon does not require owning far cry 3. it's not a dlc, it's a spin off
anybody has a list of what is getting delisted
UH OH!
And nothing of value was lost, but still a dick move.
I was close to buying AC Odyssey during summer sale, now I'm already glad I just pirated it
The only Ubisoft game I ever pucrhased is AC Unity during this last sale. I'm regreting giving them those 4$ more and more.
im thinking between fc 3 and 4, which one is better
FC3 is better.
both suck, go for 5 or 2 instead
5 does everything 3 and 4 did better
and 2 is almost a different genre
don't go for 5, it forces uplay on you
5 looks lot like newbisoft homosexualry
it is but so are 3 and 4
to rephrase it, im not interested in american politics, nor rainbow haired dykes lecturing me about it
I enjoyed 5 a lot more than 3 or 4 except for the forced story missions. Fortunately I couldn't be bothered to finish it so the shitty ending didn't bug me. The DLC was surprisingly decent though.
3 is the only good fc game
3 if you like islands, 4 if you like mountains. They're the same game. Both have shit plots and characters.
5 is an abomination, don't play it.
pc gaming moment

>Being able to choose from more than one store

It is
Go ahead and sue them instead of seething on an anime forum

Not even EA does such a bullshit
yeah they just shut down servers
i am surprised they haven't shut down the master server for battlefield: bad company 1 yet
Any company that makes you download a launcher to play their games is a pirate for me at this point. Rockstar EA Ubisoft etc
But I guess Valve gets a free pass huh?
Interesting

Frick. I always wanted to try the Silent Hunter games but never got around to buying them.
Well, now's your chance to pirate it and feel justified about it.
Silent Hunter 5 is dogshit. Silent Hunter 3 is the best one and is still for sale if you want to send money their way, but I would just pirate it.
ok but why would you play old games when you could be playing new games?
goood point
if i want to play renaissance era city builder which one would you recommend
if you ever feel like you want to play a renaissance era city builder I'd recommend having sex
I made my choice and I stand by it.
But Ubisoft is shit, stupid shill. You're the only troony here.
nooo ubisoft is based because they kill games
None of their games are good. They wont be missed. And it's not like the games are unplayable. Though idk why you would want to play them.

DLC being removed is definitely a moron move but I dont expect Ubisoft to be competent about anything.
Good thing I haven't paid for a Ubisoft game since Ass Creed 2 on 360.
Wouldn't be a problem if you just bought the new product. Thought about that?
There hasn't been a new Silent Hunter since 2010.
Good thing I don't buy anything from except Splinter Cell games
where can i download anno 2070?
Liberation had a good gimmick, which was the disguises which had NEVER ben used in the asscreeds. I really love disguises mechanics in games.

every single one of you should consider removing all ubisoft games from your wishlist. if you bought anything during the last sale ask for a refund.
I bought years ago on steam the dlc for splinter cell blacklist, i want to try to contact the support and try to get a refund
