What's so bad about U-play?
Origin and Steam handled the launch well and cleared the way. Most users face problems with uplay, like losing save files and needing to restart.
I enjoy it. Focus on earning points to get rewards that can be applied in the game.
Imagine a game featuring Justin Bieber created by Ubisoft. It could be unsettling to think about the outcomes.
Imagine you're dealing with a small issue on your computer. You decide to restore your system using a point saved before you installed your game on Uplay. Alternatively, you might have a brand new OS running on a fresh SSD, but your old hard drive still holds all your games from Steam, Origin, and Uplay. The challenge is that you'll need to download the Uplay game from scratch, even though it's still present on your computer. Unlike Steam or Origin, Uplay doesn't automatically recognize your game folder and simply confirms everything is there. Instead, you're forced to re-download a massive 30GB of data that's already on your system, which can take several hours—especially with slow internet. This process uses up all your bandwidth and disrupts other activities like watching YouTube. Meanwhile, Steam and Origin leave enough space for streaming without issues. Your only option is to download when no one is around or while you're asleep. Additionally, Uplay's cloud storage sometimes gets corrupted, and at times it fails entirely (like with my Rayman Legends saves). That's why I prefer Origin over Uplay—because it functions smoothly and avoids the hassle of constant piracy concerns.
