I worked for 6 years at Ubisoft.
Valve has enormous power and uses it often, even at one point de-listing our entire catalog without warning because we had an additional asset in a game which was granted based on region. (and we got blamed in the media for it).
Ubisoft games are still on Steam despite this, though the big publishers despise this amount of power, and sometimes valve does come across as bullying when you’re on the receiving end.
- lakomen 4y agoYou took away "expired" my hard earned ubi points that could be used to lower purchase prices. Since then I'm not spending money on your platform anymore
- dijit 4y agoHA! Those ubi points exist to give people the discounts we aren't allowed to directly give because of Steam licensing terms. :D The fact they even exist is a symptom of what I'm talking about. (also: I never worked on uPlay, I worked in the same building)
