Polittiset asiat videopeleissä

Eihän noissa ole edes samat pelimoottorit? Tuntuu vähän kaukaa haetulta nyt koko homma.

Muutama minuutti aikaisemmin gameplayta katsottua olisi kyllä jäänyt ostamatta ilman woketettua ja huonoa päähahmoakin kun animaatiot näyttivät yksinkertaisesti vain todella paskoilta.

Rumor: Ubisoft Wants Valve To Disable Steam Player Count API Fuelling SteamDB

Steam is highly valued by many gamers, not only for being a fairly inexpensive, easy way to buy and manage games, but also because it provides statistics on player count and play times, via tools like SteamDB, which are a neat way for gamers to see how the community is participating in games...

"The Substack post quotes Ubisoft insiders who claim that the game developer and "other companies" want Valve to disable or restrict the APIs used by tools like SteamDB and Steam Charts as a direct response to the disappointing performance of Star Wars Outlaws. This news also comes ahead of the early 2025 launch of Assassin's Creed Shadows, which has already caused significant apprehension as a result of game previews. The claims also mention that Ubisoft seeks to control the narrative of its games and potentially present a rosier image to its investors. If Ubisoft has its way, the gaming industry would lose even more transparency, since tools like SteamDB are often used by game journalists to evaluate the popularity and commercial success of games."

Lähteiden mukaan Ubisoft haluaisi poistaa Steamin pelien pelaajamäärien seurantaominaisuuden pelaajilta. Ei ole vahvistettu tieto mutta ei mitenkään yllättäisi.
