Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag’s unexpected disappearance from the Steam store is down to nothing more exciting than a tech bug - and definitely isn’t a sign of an upcoming remake for the pirate entry in the stealth-action franchise.
Well, you see, the technical issue that’s stopping them from selling it is called “canibalization of sales”, which is technically an issue for their marketing department.
Weird to think it was because of a remake. The game isn’t old and still holds up very well.
It’s not weird to think as the remake being in the works has been reported many months before they pulled the game from Steam.
It’s a decade old and big studios are creatively bankrupt, so they just love simple redoing old shit and reusing the old work.
Skyrim wasn’t the game that started this shit, but it sure was what popularized it with studios.
It holds up well until you try to run it. Terrible issues on PC they never fixed…
Weird, I don’t get those issues on my PC. I usually install it every year at least once to play through it.
I think it can go one of two ways. Either it runs fine
Or you need windows 98 compatibility mode, change some ini setting, set physx or whatever its called to off and be finally able to play.
Then see yourself standing in your ships boundaries, unable to move. This all happened to me and I just stopped playing.
It did play well a few years back but that was on windows 8.
