“We dodged the bullet” - someone at Ubisoft on leaving Steam after seeing return of the EA, increased support by MS and Destiny 2 numbers.

Waiting for the F2P version of The Division 2 next spring.

Remember when in the summer some Ubisoft exec said that Steam's business model is "unrealistic"..

Then a few months later they announce their fiscal year operating income is down 93%.

Good times :ROFLMAO:

As people say, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

TBH, I’m not sure Steam would’ve helped them much, TD2 might’ve been less of a flop, Anno might’ve sold a dozen k more copies, but Breakpoint is a turd no matter where it sells.

Was it really down 93%? I remember them saying that some of the Epic games sold very well (well they boasted about how Uplay saw a big spike in sales)

I wonder if they will "admit being wrong" and go back to Steam and do their regular thing.

I mean if Epic would let them they could sell on Uplay,Steam, and EGS and then sell (an improved since it seems to have issues right now) Uplay+ premium on Uplay and then a Uplay lite subscription on Steam.


I have mentioned this before but will Steam sort of turn into Amazon Video where you can buy movies, you can get movies as part of your Amazon Prime membership and that you can also buy membership for other through the service. By buying it through the service you don't get all the feature of buying it from the provider but I think you get it at a reduced cost and the convenience of having everything in one place. Others also sort of do something like it, Hulu does it

Yea last month they revised it while also delaying a bunch of their games from spring into late next year or 2021 I guess.

Overall not a good year for Ubisoft.

Didn't help them not having a new AssCreed this fall.

The Jedi game is also on Epic. Oh I can't wait for Epic and EA to say that the game sold better on EGS than Steam /s.


I'm guessing that it will only be for this game since this game does use Unreal Engine?

Oh boy, so it seems that Steam refund will look at your Origin gameplay time.

That sort of sucks because of EA Access, but then again that will also be a thing on Steam as well now.

Surprised Jedi Fallen Order released on EGS. I wonder if this was a last minute deal made after they announced it for Steam or if it was always planned?

Is Epic gonna release their stuff on both EGS and Steam? That'd be weird considering they "partnered" with Valve.

Sounds a lot like Epic going to Disney and getting a deal out of them and EA not having much to say on it.

Nah, long hair is where it's at.
The longer the better



90% Chance it's SE.
I mean, come the fuck on.
It's SE being SE.
I see you are a fan of Miku then.


I'm sorry Hektor but





to think I wanted to invite you to my anime club


I will now show myself out





Also going forward why doesn't Epic just do fornite stuff for games. I mean people would buy a game on your store for a skin alone?

Halo 3 (and others) on PC! Need to pre-purchase this.

Next Konami, bring all MGS games to Steam.

The Nitro or the Gamepass sub?

You can only get the free Nitro if you have XGP Ultimate and an Xbox One (you need to actually go to the GamePass Section of the X1 Dashboard to get it. I had to unpack a bunch of boxes to find my xbox to do this.)

If you have Discord Nitro it should give you a notification when you log in on the top of your screen that they're giving out XGP 3 month subs.
Does this mean if I get 3 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for a dollar I can from there get Discord Nitro? And from Discord Nitro I can get more xbox game pass?

Seeing EA's Star Wars game on EGS is unexpected. I guess EA got a phone call from Sweeney after they announced their partnership with Steam.
Nah its likely a disney thing.

They’re 100% having a Fortnite X Star Wars crossover for Episode IX (They added a bunch of skins in an update a few days ago but they were super heavily encrypted so people couldnt data mine, which only happens with crossover skins.) and this was probably a side deal.

Also the stormtrooper skin (that can be bought ingame for 1500vbuck so its not even exclusive to Fallen Order) is apart of a set and has its own rarity, so its definitely not the only Star Wars item coming. Same thing happened with Avengers Endgame’s crossover event which is also a Disney IP.

There's very few games ill drop over £50 on.
XCOM, Souls, Metal Gear, Half Life 3 (or VR equivalent)

Though i am tempted by the Star Wars Jedi game, everyone saying its great.

And after watching the comments on the official Tweet announcing the game for such store, I can see why Disney would want that, no one fucking cared about the game, it was all about the stormtrooper skin and if it was available for PS4 and Xbox, and half of the comments were "Use the code: XXXX on the fortnite store"

Jeez, I guess the generational gap is way too long xD

less than 3 hours until I can play Jedi.

So Dark Souls X Star Wars. I like the sound of that.

Also I have tried Cream Soda and I thought it was decent.

So for the job I will actually be getting paid $13.50USD an hour. I may also get overtime.

I asked the person why they choose to give me an interview. They said that since I already had work experience that I already knew what the value of a job is (so I actually show up to work and most of the places I have on my resume I have worked at for at least 1 year).

The fact that I have some knowledge of graphic design also seemed to get his attention. I forget the exact reason that he gave me but it was along the lines of being knowledgeable of software or something like that.


My job is to take molds (impressions?) that dentist take of their patients teeth, 3D scan them and then to just clean up the image. So I have to make sure that no big pieces of teeth and stuff are missing and if need be I will need to but part of the mold in order to get a better 3D image.

Also it took 505 a while but they updated the DS Steam page

They updated the Steam page, but not the regional prices, screw 505

You know, for a monopoly, Steam sure makes some dumb moves by letting people put their games wherever they want, even in locations where Steam makes no money but still eats the operation cost of downloads.

Monopolies — still surprising after all these years.
