| VersusEvil said: Yeah AC Shadwoes flopped. Steam has 900 million! Users yet AC Shadwoes only has 60k players. I guess that’s what happens when you double DRM a single player game. RIP. Also Asswithmold made a video exposing it as a flop too. |
I know you're joking, but just in case anyone thinks you're being serious, the series has never been a strong performer on Steam, the AC series is extremely console loaded, more so than just about an other series I know of. My understanding is PC gamers were turned off by Ubisoft forcing Uplay DRM into their Steam releases in the past, and their PC ports were often poorly optimized in the past, and some of their games got late Steam releases, and though that DRM has been dropped now as far as I know and their PC ports are better optimized and Shadows is day one on Steam, the series performance on Steam still hasn't recovered from all of the repeated PC blunders by Ubisoft on past PC releases, so now probably 80+% of AC sales are on consoles. The peak concurrent player count record for the series on Steam is Odyssey with 62k peak concurrent, so Shadows with 60k is the #2 strongest launch performer in the series on Steam.
