Does that mean the full game will be on steam ? Was going to get this years COD since i’ve skipped 2-3 years and would be good to know if it’ll be on steam.
All signs point to no.
Say bb to steam if u want CoD 😀
I know right, thats kind of what i meant 😛 1 of those has to go, and most people will pass on CoD, if they had to.. altho.. who doesn’t have battle net.. everyone i know has it, its not like the Ubisoft thing.
I dont even have uplay lol 😛
Could be 😀
I dream of a world where provity and world hunger is gone, but I guess Quake Champions is comparably the same.
That’s fine. Multiple launchers aren’t a big deal anymore. If you’re having a problem with them, disable them from starting up with your computer and then when you’re done playing the game, close out the launcher. Problem solved.
It’s just that it’s better to have them all in one spot. Most pf us prefer the steam platform over uplay/origin/whatever.
Of course that’d be preferable.. but as long as I can put the icon on my desktop, I’m okay.
Shoot, I have GMG and GOG games but when I’m thinking of a game I want to play, I don’t ever think to log in to a website and look at my collection. So I get it, but somehow I still play what I buy. And you can add non-Steam games into your library, so there’s that.
Yea but then it’s going to start the other launcher (R6Siege as an example) and that’s just ugh.
But i guess you’re right.
The problem is every company wanting their own launcher now. It may actually be worse than a monopoly in some ways and many of them are of poor quality.
Yeah, Ill be waiting for 20 years that Blizzard launcher can recognize my already downloaded version of Starcraft 2!!
20 years. STOP BEING A DRONE!!!
Worst of all, are those drones who speak about 1 store shell and buy EA games which in fact are just available on ORIGIN.
BUT THAT IS NOT A MONOPOLY ACCORDING TO YOUR OPINION!
It’s not about being elitist. This is a money move and it’s not efficient for us gamers.
In your opinion.
LOL, cant believe to my eyes on what im reading.

to be more specific….
GD IT. I knwo that it makes complete sense. However why the hell is it I’m still surprised to see activision trash on it?
First COD that i will not buy.
Damn, the 970 used to be a good car few years ago. Now it is trash.
What are you trying to play? Its still a great card.
2500K? I only got 2500 ;p What happens then?
So they don’t want to turn a profit this year?
Kids who stole their parents credit card will do their best to get this, because its COD.
We already knew that? There are no any other games to cover?
Unless they sold not enough…
Implying they care all too much about the PC side of things. Even if they sell less they could make more due to not losing a third of each sale to Valve.
Base PS4 suffers from performance problems, PS4Pro also drops frames.
I already see how big mess will be PC port 😀
And like always, we need overkill PC compared to PS4 to play :v
Are you serious? There’s a ton.
I don’t think any games aside from Valve developed games are required to be exclusive to Steam. I don’t know much about Origin, but I would assume third party games (not made by EA) are also not required to be exclusive to Origin.
I think you may have completely missed my point. Possibly because there wasn’t one. But still.
It’s fine for publishers to want to stick to their own platforms. Quit being so entitled. A game being on Origin, Uplay, Battlenet has never stopped me from enjoying it.
This is a good thing right. Now all the COD fanboys won’t be there to disturb Steam.
