Steam announcement

Seems like Activision will pull Assassin's Creed Infinity before Ubisoft.

Some conclusions

  • using Steam community features will be nightmare (e.g achievements, guides, discussions)
  • abusing Steam reviews
  • bugs and glitches will affect multiple games at once?
  • refunding is by-passed as mTX can't be refunded?
  • easier for them to remove old titles?

Do we need that sort of "time-saver"?

So no more achievements, reviews, trading cards, screen shots, artwork, forums, guides, and game hubs for each title like it always has been. Now it all gets shoved together in a giant mess with no way to filter any of it to just be for a single game. No more showing off each title on your steam profile, its all just called generic "Call of Duty" now. This is absolutely not worth saving the extra 15 seconds it takes to choose a game from a list like we already do now. What a terrible idea that completely throws out all the best things that Steam exclusively can do for each game.


Who asked for this? Are people really incapable of picking the game they want from their library list? Are you trying to appeal to those with a sub 90 IQ? Must be easier to trick them into buying skins and season passes.
It also seems like a tactic to make it easier to erase what people already paid for, like the first Warzone.


Good news. Now every update can break something in ALL the games, instead of being isolated to just one. Expect FPS to decrease with every new title and since it all requires the same app, all the old ones starting with MW2 will also suffer. 5 years from now it probably won't even work with all the bloat added by then.


Could be about the bad reviews. Trying to prevent new titles from getting review bombed. Or to make it harder to have a negative overall rating because new games in the form of DLC don't effect the main page's rating. I did notice non owners can no longer add this app to their account for free and leave a review like you could yesterday so already they've cut off the flow of negative reviews by forcing you to spend money first. I wouldn't be surprised if this is all a result of the review bombing from f2p accounts over the Nickmercs situation that happened in June.

How in the fuck is this easier in anyway? You're right IW, simply clicking the game I want to play in my steam library is just so difficult, truly a Goliath task. Oh but going into the DLC of "call of duty", scrolling through a terrible UI filled with every single COD game from here on out is just so much easier!

does this mean i can refund?

holy sht...that's another disadvantage we get , most in-game items are non-refundable like CPs and stuff cause they are synced with a 3rd party acc, does that mean we can't refund next CoDs cause they are gonna be a DLC to this one ?!?!? that would be the end of CoD...MW3 which is coming in a few months is also by Sledge Hammer , easily the worst cod dev

Another bright idea by a big company, what a stupid fucking change.

when Ubisoft told as about Infinity then I had good thoughts about it, but now realizing that it might not be best idea (for multiplayer-only games I guess would be ok)

They are finally embracing that every new Call of Duty games is just a reskinned DLC.

makes more sense than it seems considering it's the same game every year

yeah, but still same we can assume same cost, so consumer-wise I can't see no benefit from it
