Ubisoft Financials; Ubisoft Returns to Steam

The Ubisoft stories come amid the release of the company's updated financial targets for FY2024-25, saying the company "now expects net bookings of around €1.95bn, and around break-even non-IFRS operating income and free cash flow."

Back in 2019 the, company started a romance with the Epic Games Store with Ubisoft's Chris Early calling the Steam business model "unrealistic."

I think a lot of people are realizing that you get a hell of a lot of visibility and a lot more sales for that larger cut Steam takes over EGS, and that EGS is never going to compete with Steam in the size of its user base.
Do you have a single fact to back that up?
