This is incredibly disappointing...

Ubisoft has cancelled 6 games, including the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake | VGC in c/games@lemmy.world

Given the original announcement footage, it might be for the best...

That's not an insignificant number.

Why, given "Good Old Games" is no longer the name of the store?

I really want them to bring back self-hosting. Multiplayer games don't need to have a limited lifespan.

What an unnecessarily exclusionary take.

If you need comments to explain what is happening (and not why it is happening), then you've got some bad code that needs refactoring.

It depends. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

I'm assuming it was hyperbole, not literal.

Tim Sweeney doesn't hold back: if you think the Epic Games launcher is bad, it's because it is in c/games@sh.itjust.works

This seems a bit like missing the forest for the trees. Steam does not really let you know if the game is DRM-free, does not guarantee it will stay that way, and does not provide a reliable way to back these games up in a way where they could be used without the launcher.

Start selling games without DRM that only use the launcher to update and it’s better than steam.

So... GOG?

I'm fairly sure it's just a joke comment.
