You can ignore all games from publishers on Steam. I’d recommend doing this with any publisher with anti-consumer practices.
Best thing is: I heard they see the number on their publisher dashboard next to the followers. Don’t know if it’s true, but I like the idea.
Fuck Ubisoft.
Holy shit, I didn’t know you could do this. If there was a way to block all F2P games too, my store would be so much cleaner.

Oooh, I am trying this after work. Thank you!
I would block games with microtransactions, being free to play, without microtransactions, is itself a positive.
They’ve gotta make money to support the game somehow
Some of us would rather not play it then. It’s not hard.
I mean, ok?
You can’t just expect things to be provided for free, that isn’t how it works
It can be. It has been in the past. Locally hosted servers used to be common.

Wow thanks!
For anyone curious/looking to keep a copy just in case, GOG still has it listed and on sale for $3 US.
If you’ve never played it before, go. Now. Buy it on sale, hunt down an old physical copy, pirate it, just play it. There is a reason BG&E is so well loved, even today. It’s an absolute blast of a time.
ETA: Instead of just mentioning it, here’s the link.
Can you give me some quick teaser spoilers or something to reignite my interest? I’ve tried to start this game 3 times and every time i fall off cuz it feels like a clunky Dreamworks movie game

Genre mix of 3rd person brawling and some stealth sections. Hovercrafting including some races (many optional). Some adventure style puzzles. Awesome soundtrack. French style and subtle + not so subtle and satirical storytelling that doesn’t assume you’re a doofus. It actually made me a little sad at one point.
Technical: GOG version supports multiple threads/cores. Widescreen fix available. Check here: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Beyond_Good_%26_Evil
You might have replied to the wrong guy?
Yup. Hope he still sees it. Mine is more a bonus to what you wrote. Should’ve been next to yours tho.

Yeah this sucks but:
-
if you buy it you’re giving Ubisoft money
-
you should emulate the gamecube version if you don’t want to set it up
-
if you want to tinker pirate the gog release
Giving Ubisoft money is not a good reason just to have the game and playtime tracked on your Steam account.

When a Ubisoft game gets delisted:
Ubisoft or not, it still adds to the game preservation issue
It’s been delisted because a remaster is happening. It was leaked recently. So if you don’t get playing it now then you still can in future.
Except it will be infected with a Ubisoft launcher and Denuvo malware and I do not pay for anything with Denuvo filth in it.
Good for you. Does not change that the game will still be playable in some form either for those who already own it or those who want to play it in future. But this is Lemmy so your crusade of course gets upvoted when you’ve provided fuck all to the conversation.
A remaster is in no way the same as the original. I understand you’re putting forward the business reason for it being delisted, and that is probably the true reason, but that doesn’t make it less scummy.
While Denuvo is bad, there’s light on the end, because it will get removed from the game 100% in the future (due to licensing costs).
This can’t be said about Ubisoft shitlauncher on the other hand, unfortunatelly. This sucker is here to stay and ruin games for as long as Ubisoft will care. And once they decide it costs too much, bye bye games…
No, a remaster is not the same. They can be hit or miss. Delisting a game is just another way of erasing history.
I agree remasters are hit or miss.
Take Diablo 2 for example, which is epic level of remaster. The game is virtually identical to the original. It’s just working better on modern hardware and can be played in high resolution with shinier graphics. But you can still turn it to (almost) 1:1 copy of original with single keypress. I’m all for this.
And now take Warcraft 3 remaster from the “same Blizzard”… This is an example of how things should NOT be done.
Given both these coming from the same company, there’s no telling in how any remaster will turn out in the end. Which is… not very reassuring?
Diablo 2 is also a great example because while in general it is a very good remaster it lacks the LAN play of the original. Features were taken away.
Well, I did not even know this. And I’ve played HELL OF A LOT of Diablo 2 over LAN years and years ago. But ever since then I’ve had no use for LAN play… LAN parties were a thing decade and half ago (at least where I live) and playing with my game buddy was simplified over internet (steam, battle.net). I still remember dark days of convincing Hamachi to work…
Steam version was inferior to GOG. It was definitely missing the multi core CPU fix and maybe even still had TAGES protection (not sure about that one).
So if you don’t get playing it now then you still can in future.
Only when online and DRM servers are up
