Star Wars Outlaws sales were 'softer than expected,' so Ubisoft is slamming the release-it-on-Steam button early [will come to Steam in November](www.pcgamer.com)

Problem is that folks at Steam have already seen the reviews and they know what they’re getting into.

Maybe I’m missing something, but what does Steam care? All it is is another game they’ll get some additional revenue on. It’s not like they’re betting the farm on it.

I think OP meant Steam users have already seen the reviews, so the bigger market probably isn’t going to cause as big of a sales boost as Ubi was hoping.

Ah that makes sense i read “at Steam” as the company, not “at Steam” as users who use the platform.

I’m not a Star Wars fan and this game has no redeeming quality for me to get it because it’s pretty mid gameplay wise too, but I feel like Star Wars fans would bite no? I think dragon ball z kakarot is mid, but I just love db so much that I bought and played the game anyway.

Even among a lot of SW fans it’s a “Wait for a sale”
