“But Steam is Very good so we have to sell it there!” Is not a good argument if that’s being made.
That’s it!
That’s the argument!
It’s that Steam is so good that Ubisoft has no business choice but to accept Valve’s terms and sell it there.
It’s literally not viable to sell it cheaper on Ubisoft’s storefront, not to speak of every other gaming storefront in existence: Steam is more essential than all of them put together.
The pricing is not market driven.
If that’s not monopolistic, I don’t know what is, and if you still don’t see that I just don’t think we’re going to resolve this disagreement, because our perspectives are light years apart.
That’s entirely on the companies that made the game if they can’t convince people to type ubisoft.com into their browser and buy the game they want just because it’s not on steam.
Boycott steam if you don’t like this boilerplate deal steam has with everyone else

Then Ubisoft is a failed company if they can’t make a product that people want to buy. I have 0 empathy for them.
If by “products” you mean games, Ubisoft games are selling just fine on Steam.
It’s not a function of the product, in this case. But the storefront.
