It's definitely a money thing, but I don't think it's in the way that you are suggesting. I think it's a matter of them making more money (somehow) by excluding Steam. That's pretty much the only platform it's not available on.
Ubisoft are a poor struggling indie company after all.
Not at all to do with Epic paying devs for exclusives.
Oh and btw both Epic and Steam charge $100 to publish on their store, so it’s not that.
There is absolutely no reason to be such a giant jerk in this thread.
They started it. All I did was make fun of rich companies “struggling” for money.
