Ubisoft wants valve to remove player count tracking

Funny enough, Valve already nerved this years ago when they started to limit (and restrict) the data made available for the public. The API is not as comprehensive as it once was. Neither can you track private accounts, nor functionality that is made private.

Something from the article seems off. Though I am sure that publishers would not want their title performance in public which is in a poor state. This is especially important for those who promise results for their shareholders.

I don't think Valve has "insiders", they are a notoriously silent company with a tight-knit decision-making crew. Neither would I think it would come from Ubisoft since it would be a negotiation coming directly from the board.

This I will consider an absolute rumour.

Yep, there is this one single article based off a rumour from a blogger?

And even this article states, "Ubisoft, along with other companies" - article gets more clicks if they single out a big name.
 
No way to know but being Ubisoft its not beyond the realm of possibility.

Valve may not leak things but Ubisoft are notorious for things ending in the public domain.

Nothing to do with woke. Their games have just been terrible.

BG3 is one of the "wokest" games around and coined it and still coining it today.
Cyberpunk also plenty of "woke" elements plus poor state when it launched still sold a truck load and continues to sell.

Uhm, no..

Not seeing the wokeness in BG3 and even if there are some woke elements in cyberpunk, Keanu was always going to be a selling point.. haven't really seen much of woke playing the game myself either, at least not as blatant as it's been in many recent games..
 
I actually can't wait until GTA 6 goes gold. Not only will it be the biggest game made in a decade, but it will be the most attacked game too. Some sects on social media already tried to sink the game when it released its trailer, and some are still taking potshots.

Currently, Avowed is being attacked, and I don't think that it will be going down either. Obsidian has gone through this many times now.

Well I see the clickturbate woke videos, but was there actual wokeness?

I'm trying to think through the campaign. There's a lesbian relationship, there's the option to choose your favourite flavour of schlong or beef curtains. There's bisexual Astarion... I dunno.

Maybe I just wasn't a 21 year old Gender Studies major when I played it so I didn't give a ****.

I mean just the fact that the second act is basically saving two lesbians is enough to send people off the edge. Spider Man 2 got dunked on for less even, it had one side mission of helping a deaf girl and one side mission helping a gay couple with something, all optional but somehow it's considered 'woke'.
