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

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"

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.
