Refusal to buy games because its not on steam

I really like the look of Farcry Primal, however with it being availbale only via uplay I will not buy it.

Anybody else feel the same? I only buy games that are available on steam. uplay is rubbish and origin is not quite as bad, but i would rather not buy games that are not on steam.

GTA V I have avoided because all the reseller CD key sites only sell the key for rockstar social club thingy. No! no! NO!

As for buying the games, I will buy via cd key sites 99% of time, but only if steam activated.

Makes no sense to me. I can understand wanting all games in one place as a preference, but to completely miss out on a game just because it's not available on your one chosen launcher seems silly. Does it really matter what program you have to launch the game from?

honestly, no.
but my brain tells me yes!

I'm not saying I prefer to buy via steam, I check all the cd key sites for the deals, but i want a key that is redeemed via steam.

All of you thinking that I mean I BUY via steam are missing the point. Farcry Primal CD keys for sale on the variouis cd key sites are all uplay, not steam redeemable.

A big part of playing on steam is the chat overlay, I always chat to 2-3 friends when online and I use steam to do that. If I'm playing a uplay game it doesnt work - some chortcut games can work, but some 100% do not work.
