so ubisoft has their own big sellers. assassins creed, far cry, watch dogs, tom clancy, south park, beyond good an evil 2
do you think ubisoft would sell the same amount of copies, if they sell their games only on uplay?

Games which will make people install your launcher no matter if they like it or not. Battlefield, FIFA, Assassin's Creed, ...
I didn't use Steam for a very long time, until I had to, due to wanting Skyrim so much. Such games.

Quoting: 14Quoting: mylkaI'm not sure if this is still the case, but years ago, EA games were removed from Steam because they breached Valve's policy of no in-game purchases.Quoting: F.UltraQuoting: mylkamaybe they get more money with each sale, but now they have higher costes. own servers and linux programmer for the launcher
maybe gog follows
I think that it's simply that they have now grown big enough to where those costs are less than having to give away 30% of each sale to companies such as Valve.
Now I don't have longer data than back to 2013 in the database (they listed their share in 2016) but they seam to have made some nice increase in both sales and profit (ptp in the table below is the pre-tax-profit) and while not close to a behemoth like EA they are probably as I wrote before closing in on the kind of sales numbers where 30% suddenly are quite a lot of actual money (aprox 35M EUR in 2017 if we assume that all sales are from places like Steam).
does steam really take 30%. assassins creed costs the same on steam and uplay. actually its now cheaper in the steam sale, than the uplay sale
why wouldnt ubisoft make their games like 10-20% cheaper in their own store? the customers would pay less, so they would get more costumers and they would make more money with each sale
why is EA selling their games only on origin, but ubisoft isnt, if they would save so much money?

Steam is near to a PC games online selling monopoly. They could demand that games are not sold somewhere else cheaper. Not selling on Steam will cost you lots of sales if you don't have the uber AAA game.

An interview with the CEO of Gaijin, developer of War Thunder, about supporting Linux and working with the Vulkan API

i dont think vulkan will be "underdeveloped"
look at feral. they have RotTR, total war saga, f1 2017, warhammer and mad max with vulkan support. i also think they worked on vulkan for hitman, but sadly they never released it.
i think doom only has vulkan and opengl. maybe they stick to it for doom eternal, quack and rage 2 (but this time please release the linux version)
there are more VULKAN games, than DX12, so i really dont think vulkan will be underdeveloped.
