Whether it's because they haven't been bothered or because they're clinging onto whatever they can to make Connect the go-to PC platform for their games over Steam, for its games. It's like a teenager who completes the task of taking the bins out but then can't be assed to take that final step of putting a new bag in the bin. Well done. You've brought the games to Steam Ubisoft, but can you just finish the job?
