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.

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

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

It is “for” a very specific subset of gamers. If you have played and didn’t enjoy it, you are just not in that subset. For those of us that enjoy it, it was immediate and throughout. Also if you didn’t play it when it was new, it will of course feel like an old game now, as it is. There are always microadvancements in video games that we barely even perceive as they incrementally build on each other. But you go back a whole generation or more and feel ten plus increments at once, it’s just gonna be pervasively uncomfortable.

I have the old physical copy. The DRM on it is awful, get the GOG copy.

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.
