A player just wanted to know why there are two different versions of a title on Steam. The community provides humorous responses, but also helpful tips.
What is the problem? On Reddit, user Cybernoob2708 writes that he has two different versions of For Honor in the Steam store. In the PvP melee game, players can choose from several factions like Samurai and Vikings and compete against each other.
Currently, the game is available on Steam with a 95% discount, which makes it 1.49 euros in Germany. However, the player has two versions of For Honor on Steam:
- One version is called For Honor and costs only 0.82 US dollars.
- The other version is called FOR HONOR, which is simply the game name in uppercase letters. This version costs 1.49 US dollars.
He does not understand the difference between the two versions. He suspects that the more expensive version might come with 3 DLCs and 6 additional characters. However, he is unsure, which is why he asks the community on Steam. And they respond – albeit with humor.
FOR HONOR is available elsewhere than For Honor
What funny comments are there? Initially, some joke comments came in on Reddit. User StanMm2 writes, for example, that FOR HONOR just sounds more dramatic, which is why it is more expensive. User FrankBouch adds that uppercase letters are just not cheap. The Shift key is not free, after all.
Another user, aptly named trollsmurf, believes that the NPCs in FOR HONOR scream more. User EmaFalke suspects that Ubisoft chose a higher price for the uppercase letters to save the company. The company has previously sold shares of important games.
User Jackson_Castle has perhaps the most pragmatic comment: There’s just about 60 cents difference between the two titles.
Are there serious responses as well? According to one of the top comments, the lower version is supposed to be the global version, which has the same price as in Germany. The upper, cheaper version is just a special package offered in the Commonwealth of Independent States (for instance, Armenia and Belarus) and in China.
So it is not the Deluxe Edition, as many other comments suggest. Both are the Standard Version of For Honor, just for different markets. Why both are displayed remains a mystery.
Ubisoft has not had a good standing with players due to recent statements. The company is demanding that players destroy games. Some titles are simply being shut down or even deleted from libraries: Gamers are currently upset with Ubisoft for requiring players to destroy games – but that is common
