    Is it? Could be. Ubisoft knows how to run GaaS better than most. I just reinstalled For Honor.

      Well, the first was successful enough to get a sequel. I dunno the console numbers, but the Epic store "exclusive"/Uplay exclusive killed a lot of good will (IMO) on PC.

          Yeah, I think the Epic exclusive killed it hard on PC (I dunno anyone on PC that bought it) and the lack of end-game in the first one (fixed in the expansions but the first impression counted) made some people leery.

          I think it was "successful" for Ubisoft (I don't recall them claiming it cost them a lot of money like the Avengers did for Square) but not as successful out of the gate for them like the first one.

          I will say if they put the Division 2 on Steam, I'd buy it price-unseen and get the Warlords of New York expansion because I was invested in the story more than Destiny's (which was a total snooze IMO) and I'd like to continue that, but not enough to give my Credit Card information to Ubisoft OR download the Epic Game Store (and trust them with my CC either)
