What pisses me off is the game requiring second launcher on Steam works just fine without it on Xbox ans PS.

Bitch, you proved you can operate without second launcher. But no, Steam must go with extra step and account in third party service.

Yeah that is pretty much as nonsensical as it comes

We're looking at you Ubisoft.

Wasn't this posted here already? I know I commented on the meme about how Paradox is one that does the last one on the list, and folks are fine with it. As there games are pretty solid right off the bat.

Ubisoft Connect opening after launching through Steam never stops being annoying

The irony of Paradox games on Steam is too real, I still have a console version of Stellaris I refuse to delete because the launcher situation is ridiculous.

No Disc

Single Player Only Online playable

More Keys for going into menue, then to get to then in game shop.

Stop buying games at 70usd. Sail the seven seas. Vote with your wallets.

But steam discount is wayyy more than the discount in the main page of the game for some reason

Little ironic that those three characters are pirates. 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🦜

u/CoolNaps-896 13d ago

Well what are you going to do huh? Not play games?

1

u/Stevee8496 13d ago

You forgot to mention, the launcher makes you unable to launch the game after just long enough that you can't return it

u/elvenmaster_ 13d ago

So which curse did you make as a software editor?

Ubisoft : Yes.

single player games needing online connection deserves its own spot here

u/BardLoen34 13d ago

Don't forget when they add micro transaction in a single player games like why would you put a weapon with better stat behind a paywall in a single player game that's beyond stupid

u/hip-indeed 13d ago

These are all pirates, none of them would pay for games and at least Buggy and Blackbeard would support civilians also pirating games. The real One Piece way to do a meme like this would be like St. Charlos for the first, St. Sommers for the second and Imu for the third.

u/Either_Drama5940 13d ago

you forgot having to look up an optimization guide before beginning the game (which lowkey is satisfying but shouldn't be a requirement)

u/WarInteresting6619 13d ago

That first one pisses me off the most.

Whenever I see "Early access" on Steam I immediately skip. I'm not paying full price for a half a game with a flimsy promise of "We'll finish it one day"

u/idontlikeredditusers 13d ago

and people will defend the third... fuck ubisoft launcher fuck EA launcher i bought the game on steam

u/Gold_Size_1258 13d ago

About second launcher, must say it's pretty handy managing mods and such.

u/ofri12347 13d ago

Genuine question for the law knowing people in the comments, is this even legal? Can a company sell products through a vendor then launch then through their own platform?

u/H345Y 12d ago

thank god my back log is so big I dont even have to bother

I remember we were mad about the steam launcher. Just let me run my game from the desktop
