opinions on Uplay gaming service?
This idea seems intriguing since Uplay isn't widely recognized, so I'm curious about your thoughts on it.
I'm trying to steer clear of it as much as possible because it often doesn't function properly. It creates major problems in different games and makes logging in quite difficult. My latest frustration with Uplay: I purchased Splinter Cell Blacklist at the cheapest store, but instead of applying a single patch, I had to download updates one after another...
Origin offers more appealing return and refund options compared to Valve, and they occasionally distribute games, sometimes quality ones. While I don’t enjoy Origin, it seems they’re trying to match Steam’s approach. EA appears to understand that DRM acceptance is necessary if it doesn’t hinder the experience and provides value. Uplay, on the other hand, stands out as a superior alternative with fewer drawbacks despite some limitations. Most people turn to Uplay only because they’re compelled by Ubisoft requirements, which feels like an unnecessary hurdle we must overcome while hoping it functions properly.
I've faced ongoing connection issues and frequently lost my progress in games. UPlay has also crashed multiple times, which is why I'm avoiding it due to these persistent problems.
The main issue I encountered was the lack of a reliable method to save your games and restore them later for play. I had to re-download the games, which is quite annoying.
I’m currently not logged into uPlay. As an employee, I thought it’d be a good idea to get a physical copy of the game since I usually get a big discount on them. With my plans to buy a season pass, I figured I could just download it and enter the code in uPlay. But Steam doesn’t let me do that. It’s frustrating because I already bought both Far Cry 4 and Assassin’s Creed Unity through Steam, so why can’t I activate them on uPlay? To be honest, I didn’t use the CD key from the physical copy, which means I could return it tomorrow and just get a new Steam card to buy everything again. UPlay seems to make gaming way more complicated than it should be.
