This doesn't have anticheat, it has DRM software, though.
But hey, if there is no overlap, then how come this did so much worse than other similarly well liked metroidvanias, right? That's been my point here. People keep pointing out that it's not comparable to other Ubi titles. I disagree, because PoP is PoP, but let's roll with that. It also underperformed compared to other games in the same genre with similar review scores.
So what happened there? Either the Ubi woes are behind this, and then it doesn't make sense because this did worse than other more Ubisofty Ubisoft games, or they are not because different demos, and that doesn't make sense because this did much worse than similar games not from Ubisoft.
I think as far as this tells us anything is that the stink of negativity is not very fact-based when it comes to the core gaming community. That and Ubisoft may not have more money to make by going to middle sized, pure and simple high quality experiences like Rayman or this. Which sucks. Those are the best games they've made in recent years, as far as I'm concerned.
Dude, multiple people have told you why. I spelled it out as well.
Unless you're a dev you've chosen a very strange hill to die on.
I don't and have never worked at Ubisoft, Mr McCarthy.
Multiple people have explained a hypothesis that doesn't fit the information we have. Them being multiple people doesn't make it true.
You being one person that refuses to accept things does not make everyone else wrong.
No, that'd be the info we have on how Ubi games performed on both Epic and Steam. I have very little to do with it, I'm just pointing at it.
Why do you even bother to comment a hundred times in here if you're not going to read anything anyone is saying to you?
What's the point? Are you really that bored?
If I responded to it, I read it in full.
Also, yes, obviously.
