You can ignore all games from publishers on Steam. I’d recommend doing this with any publisher with anti-consumer practices.
Best thing is: I heard they see the number on their publisher dashboard next to the followers. Don’t know if it’s true, but I like the idea.
Fuck Ubisoft.
Holy shit, I didn’t know you could do this. If there was a way to block all F2P games too, my store would be so much cleaner.

Oooh, I am trying this after work. Thank you!
I would block games with microtransactions, being free to play, without microtransactions, is itself a positive.
They’ve gotta make money to support the game somehow
Some of us would rather not play it then. It’s not hard.
I mean, ok?
You can’t just expect things to be provided for free, that isn’t how it works
Yep - we get it. But some of us don’t enjoy the effects that microtransactions have on the game experience, and would prefer not to play those kinds of games. A filter whereby we could just hide those games, and browse ones that we would enjoy, that are more targeted for us, would both save us time and increase the likelihood of us finding a game we want to buy, improving the shopping experience and putting more money into game developers’ and Steam’s pockets. Similar to how the google play store offers a “premium/paid apps” section, because while much of the market prefers free to play and doesn’t mind ads or microtransactions, they know some of us loath it and would rather pay up front for an experience that doesn’t go there, and they make more money when they help shoppers shop.
I was specifically referencing the comment above saying they wanted a free to play game with no micro transactions- which means no monetization model.
It can be. It has been in the past. Locally hosted servers used to be common.

Wow thanks!
For anyone curious/looking to keep a copy just in case, GOG still has it listed and on sale for $3 US.
If you’ve never played it before, go. Now. Buy it on sale, hunt down an old physical copy, pirate it, just play it. There is a reason BG&E is so well loved, even today. It’s an absolute blast of a time.
ETA: Instead of just mentioning it, here’s the link.

Yeah this sucks but:
-
if you buy it you’re giving Ubisoft money
-
you should emulate the gamecube version if you don’t want to set it up
-
if you want to tinker pirate the gog release
Giving Ubisoft money is not a good reason just to have the game and playtime tracked on your Steam account.
