"Closing the online services for some older games allows us to focus our resources on delivering great experiences for players who are playing newer or more popular titles," reads Ubisoft's master list of games with unavailable online features (emphasis theirs).
This appears to mean people won't be able to access products they've paid for, and I've reached out to Ubisoft to ask for more detail and will update this post should they respond.
Of the remaining games, Assassin's Creed 3, Brotherhood, Liberation HD, Driver San Francisco, Far Cry 3, Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands and Silent Hunter 5 all have DLC which will apparently be unavailable to install or access after the switch off.
Space Junkies remains on sale on Steam, with a 75% discount for the duration of the Steam summer sale. It's a multiplayer-only VR game which launched in 2019 and it will be completely unplayable after September 1st.
The PC games which will lose online features on September 1st are: Singleplayer modes should remain available. Switching off online features means that players will no longer be able to play these games in competitive multiplayer or co-operative modes, should they have them, or in some instances make use of in-game rewards, statistics or news services. Doesn't mean I can't say I don't like it.Īnd I resent this other rude ♥♥♥♥, ♥♥♥♥♥♥' kmart over here, going around acting like he's the ♥♥♥♥♥♥' best and slapping everyone down who asks for steam achievements or dares to say something anti ubisoft, as if he and his opinions are the only thing that matter.There are 15 games in total which will have their online features "decommissioned", eleven of which are on PC. I know it's here to stay, and the situation won't ever change, except for the worst. Steam is, in my opinion, the best of a bad situation. Oh, big man! ♥♥♥♥, called a child on the internet, as if you know a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing about me. i guess in your lil world everything should cost nothing. Games cost alot to make as well as distribute. To be honest, there shouldn't be any DRM at all. you must open both steam and Uplay just to load your gameįor new Ubi titles your better off with a uplay only copy. why buy em over steam just to add another layer of DRM. like i did with FC 5 and Primal and several other uplay titles like the AC new games. i'll still love steam for the steam games i buy, and all my ubi games i'll just get a uplay only copy. Maybe they are just trying to save some bucks on digital distribition and valve does indeed charge more then epic has offered to new games and publishersĭon't matter to me. and the division 2 is also available via Uplay the deal with epic was for a single game as they most got a decent deal for distribution rights. nope they will still sells games over steam. Originally posted by -=SOF=-WID99:they do sell more copies via uplay then they sell over steamĪnd I hope that Ubisoft will move away from Steam for good.ĭivision 2 is first game on Epic Launcher, but they announced that future titles will be also exclusive on Epic.
