Has anyone else noticed that Ubisoft are now charging £45 for all there latest releases.....

Far Cry 4 £44.99 http://store.steampowered.com/app/298110/?snr=1_4_4__tab-PopularNewReleases
The Crew £44.99 http://store.steampowered.com/app/241560/?snr=1_4_4__tab-PopularNewReleases
Assassin's Creed Unity £44.99 http://store.steampowered.com/app/289650/?snr=1_4_4__tab-PopularNewReleases

Am praying other game company's are not going to copy them..
I thought it was bad enough with Activision charging £40 for there COD games..

Just buy them elsewhere as per normal. Never buy new games on Steam as they are always stupid money.

I always buy from other places as Witcher1979 said.

Games have always been cheap on PC, but this trend is now coming to an end. I use keys from other sites and ebay. It's easy to get them and still uses the same service steam/uplay.

so While it is annoying, just do a bit of google searching and you will usually find them below £30 for anew title.

You could just stop buying Ubisoft games, I have.

People buy/play Ubisoft games?

lordfletch · 2 Jan 2015 at 19:27

they have two chances of getting 45 quid from me , none and **** all.

If no one buys them, the prices wont stay that high. Fortunately atm we have plenty of options compared to console users

Relentless81 · 2 Jan 2015 at 19:28

Paid £19.99 for The Crew on PC, great game too

people do buy them at that price though, just look at CoD DLC.

Could be worse, The Witcher 3 seems to have an RRP of £49.99...

But The Witcher 3 will be a complete and working game I should imagine.

Their

They can charge what they want, just vote with your wallet and go elsewhere.

TheVoice · 2 Jan 2015 at 20:14

Don't think this is anything new.

I put £49.99 on it will be a fully functional and worthwhile game.
Ubisoft games are like buying a PC with bloatware...

This actually went down to £16 on some key sites a couple of weeks back.

Yeah, charging 50% more for their games is sure to reduce the "piracy problem" they keep talking about.

Not talking about key sites though as ubi games can also be had for much cheaper. Just seems like another thread to have a go at ubi tbh. I agree most of the time they deserve the criticism but not here as it's not just them that have pushed the price up.

VeNT · 2 Jan 2015 at 21:21

and will still be 50% off in a few months.
meh.
Who buys Ubisoft games before the first ten patches or so?
