I hear people shittalking Uplay a lot, and apparently on the pc its like a shittier Steam but who cares about that? Uplay is so rad on the consoles, if you've been at least 2 ubisoft games you're basically set witth all the uplay points you could ever need and all the little extras are fun as well. If you're angry about Ubisoft or Uplay take my advice, quit playin action games on the computer like some kind of caveman and get with the program, the videogame console program.

uplay isn't as bad as GFWL was but it's still bad. Like, "arbitrarily deleting save files without warning" bad

I've had decent luck with Uplay, and it's the only way to legitimately play Might & Magic X.

people talk like uplay giving "freebies" is some kind of good thing, as if those extra missions/costumes/weapons wouldn't be in the game for free without uplay anyway

They'd probably be one of those lame 99 cent dlc's

The "desktop background" ones are pretty hilarious though

Yeah. Without Uplay they'd just be normal paid DLC. It's nice that you can at least get some of that for free.

I'd pay 99 cents extra for each game not to have to deal with Uplay.

Whats so bad about Uplay, I barely use it but when I have I never had a problem with it.

Uplay is the loving AIDS plague. I don;t even care baout origin because aside from bad sales Origins works as well as Steam. Uplay freaking crashes and fully prevents you from playing games you;ve bought in steam. I remember one time when i got blood dragon i would need to restart my computer and reinstall uplay every time i wanted to play because uplay would crash while launching the game otherwise.

I have no particularly strong feelings regarding Uplay one way or another

At least it's not Origin right lol
