If it was another third party store yeah bad look since it was first party you can see ubisofts start of the enshittification. In the short term drive down the price to drive out all other third party resellers stores.
Then bam jack up the prices on first party after driving out all the competition. Then its just like streaming instead of 3 library’s you have 24+ and even higher prices. But if there was proof they did this to gog or another third party store then throw the book at them.
I just wish they would compete on features not so much price. Because while i like paying less for games. I have seen the amazon model of drive out everyone else with price with VC money then jack up the price. When we have less choice.
The market share is not the issue when they make the product. Taken to the extreme they sell their game at $200 on steam and $30 their store only. We now have effective consoles on PC with first party exclusives. Like I said find me proof of them doing this with third party stores and I will be more up in arms. Right now it feels like a company signed a contract and now want out of it.
What is wrong with them offering the game only through their own platform? It’s annoying because you have to have another login? Anything more than that?
There is nothing wrong with only selling in your platform from a business standpoint. Though certainly plenty from a consumer standpoint. That isn’t the scenario though.

That is so far off realistic it’s weird to contemplate. How much market share does Uplay have compared to steam?
