    Well, it looks like it's another publisher week on Steam. I can't say that there's many Ubisoft games I'm interested in getting, but the Prince of Persia Complete Pack does seem like a pretty good deal :o

    I'm losing money if I don't buy it, right? :P

    You're losing much more money if you buy the package and only play one or two of the titles. I'd really think twice before buying all of the games. Prices for separate titles aren't too bad either.

    Will these have that nefarious DRM that Ubisoft seems fond of?  I haven't followed that very closely.

    Out of the PoP games, Forgotten Sands seems to be the only one with third party DRM.

    Looks like I'll pass up another sale on Far Cry 2, that has to be one of the daily sales right?

    They never have that on sale when I actually want to play it. When I don't feel like playing it, though, they put it up on sale all the time...

    Moar liek Ubisoft Weak on Steam, am I right? In all seriousness, I have all the AC games on 360, played all the PoP games on PC and Far Cry 2 doesn't seem too appealing to me (unless it's dirt cheap). Anything else to look forward to?

    ubi week should be cool. starts off with a bang for me since ive been wanting to get PoP 2008 on steam for a while now, i love that game. 5euros is the sweet spot. I also wanna get Forgoten Sands, but not for 10 since i already finished it on ps3 (but dont own it anymore) and just want it to have all PoP games on steam.

    from the rest of the ubi catalog, i wanna have AC2 and BH on steam, but they probably wont be cheap enough for me to double dip (brotherhood certainly wont and i already finished ac2 on 360, but would love to play again), dont think i really want anything else. oh RB6 Vegas 1 would be cool, i only have 2 (from that AC/Juarez/FarCry2/RB6V2 weird pack some months ago).

    side note, fianlly a daily deal that i want after a lackluster first week of daily deals (for me), Mini Ninjas o/

    edit: i might double dip on conviction if its 75% off, since i actually never even started it on 360, and it should run hella nice on my current rig

    Digital Rights Management. It's a counter-piracy measure. Ubisoft's DRM needed the PC to be connected at all times to the Internet to recieve some packages from the Ubisoft serves that allowed the game to continue to be played. Besides that, it only allowed for a limited amount of installations. Basically, you are penalized for buying the game. It's much easier to pirate it and play it whenever and however you want.

     Very shitty stuff.

    PS: Eh, maybe the latest Splinter Cell could be cool, if it's on sale.

    It's crazy how we'll get an Ubi IP on sale every day, a daily deal, a midweek deal or two, AND a weekend deal or two. So many games on sale this week.

    @BeachThunder: PoP 2008 will let you down at the end.

    I wonder if AC BH being excluded will result in a special daily deal. Probably not, but i'd go for that.

    PoP day - 5 games
    SC day - 5 games
    AC day - 3 games

    The rest will be crap days with the occasional gems thrown in...

    There are no good Ubisoft games, and AC I already played on PS3.  They have no games that even interest me.

    Prince of Persia, Anno, the Settlers, Splinter Cell?

    @WinterSnowblind: Prince of Persia I own on PS2/PS3 and I can just pick it up on PS3 for the original 3, same with Splinter Cell, I hate the Settlers, and Anno I never liked when compared to Tropico and Civ.

    So tempted to get the old Ghost Recon games.  I have the disk version but for 6 bucks it seems reasonable.  They look terrible now but they still are one of my favourite FPSs.

    For anyone else interested in Far Cry 2, but concerned about the DRM, this is a comment from the Steam forums:

    This game definitely had the DRM REMOVED in the last patch. The Steam store page is inaccurate, there are no five machine activation limits on this game anymore.

    Anyone know if the Settlers games may see a day on this deal? Very much want to pick up Settlers 7 but, as I'm unsure how much time I'll actually put in, I don't want to pay full price!
