The Guillemots started Ubisoft in the late 1980s; it was originally called “Ubi Soft.” At first, they mainly produced PC games and licensed titles for handheld systems, but everything changed in 1995 when their game Rayman on PlayStation became a huge hit. Since then, Ubisoft has grown into one of the largest publishers in the gaming industry, thanks to popular franchises like Splinter Cell, Assassin’s Creed, and Prince of Persia.

This justification helps explain the questionable actions that players can take, particularly in open-world games where causing chaos and destruction is a key element that keeps players hooked as they progress through the game.

In simpler terms, if you’re a Steam user, you won’t be able to buy the initial PC version of Horizon Zero Dawn separately anymore because it has been packaged with the game’s upcoming remaster on Steam. Instead, you can only get them together as a bundle.
