I'll never use Ubi's store - their games are priced the same as they are in Steam and uPlay doesn't include Steam keys. It is also f'n annoying that uplay doesn't auto-close when I quit the game, I want to use uplay solely as a DRM tool. There's been quite a few issues in the past, but apparently with uplay that's no longer the case. Because uPlay was is used as a DRM tool and a store, any issues with the DRM side of the program will give a bad perception of the store. It's not just me, Ubisoft was rated the 2nd best AAA publisher on metacritic 2015, but in 20, they are rated worst [Personally, I've had more issues with GFWL than uPlay, but for many of my friends that wasn't the case. That perception will change once I feel my opinion is not simply ignored and I'm more valued to them. I have learned not to preorder or trust them as much as I did in the past. Look, it's no fault of uPlay or their devs at all, it's simply my perception of Ubisoft as of their recent decisions in regards to pricing, PR, marketing, and their decisions with certain games.

I have no issues with that bit of info that's recorded, that could make updates, DLC, or future games better. UPlay is literally another Steam, just owned by a different company There is nothing wrong with uPlay, the bad reviews of the Anno games on Steam are mainly because people don't know how to use uPlay and CD Keys etc The DRM is owned by Ubisoft and only marketed through Steam Steam is a store and DRM so if you don't like uPlay for that reason then you better uninstall Steam too UPlay is exactly the same as Steam, except steam is owned by Valve and uPlay is owned by Ubisoft. Is there anything in the tos that says I am allowing Ubisoft to profit off of selling my browsing habbits to 3rd party or profiting in any way by selling information they obtained from me? Help better their public image in my eyes. I'm not feeling too trustworthy of Uplay or Ubisoft. Plus for Anno 2070, I'm forced to enter the CD Key and then forced to install Uplay.Ĭame across this post for the previous Anno, which used to prevent you from even playing the game unless you were online. I want to play a game I legally bought, not talk to their sales rep.
