No, they should definitely be accountable for all the other shitty things too. This is just a game I was actually kind of excited for, hence why I’m upset about it.
Comment on Fuck Ubisoft.

Of all the shit Ubisoft does, not selling on steam is the dealbreaker? Alright.

Lol right? Why is steam the only acceptable DRM?

Because it’s optional and if opted in, works offline.

Ubisoft’s launcher also has an offline mode, though, does it not?

You lost me at ‘ubisoft’s launcher’

I remember playing Far Cry 3 on Steam way back when… It opened up uPlay. I was not happy, but what can you do.
So I played for a bit, then… the game crashed. Nothing seemed to be wrong with the game, but the uPlay lost connection. Everything else worked just fine. Happened several times after that, never bought anything else from Ubisoft.
Even if their launcher isn’t such piece of shit anymore, I don’t care.

Plus it works so smoothly I never even think of it as DRM, I just notice all the positives.

AFAIK SteamWorks DRM is something developers have to actively implement in their games. From what I understand, by default Steam is merely a delivery system without DRM.

As a linux gamer, a game that is not available on Steam is a game i won’t even bother checking. I can easily run non-steam game using lutris or heroic-game-launcher but I prefer to stick to my walled garden than step in their’s.
