Ubisoft Wants Uplay Open to All

[Twilight_guy]

There distribution service that resembles Steam and was describe similar to Steam is going to work like Steam. This was completely unexpected and I did not see this coming at all. I am completely surprised and shock, simply shock and surprised, and shocked, I did not see it coming. I am so-*explosion* huh, apparently the sarcasm scanner really does only go up to 9000.

Oh wait, I forgot this is a place for people to complain about Ubi and there DRM despite the fact that Steam, who they are emulating, is DRM. Ah, I'll just cut to the chase and post nothing, writing a bunch of cheap jabs that are worthless to discuss is too much work when I can just post nothing and have the same effect as all those other posters! I am so smart, I am so smart, S-M-R-T, S-M-R-T. *Another explosion* I guess the rage meter also only goes to 9000.

Reasons your wrong and should be ashamed:

#1 - Steam's DRM, while annoying especially on store-bought games, is not anywhere even remotely close to the anti-consumer liquidised afterbirth which Ubisoft has laughably termed "DRM".

#2 - I've never been prevented from playing a game I legally purchased through Steam because the company are incompetent cretins who can't run a server cluster properly, the same cannot be said for Ubisoft customers.

#3 - Steam is one bit of annoying bloatware, its sole redeeming feature was that I only needed that one bit of annoying bloatware in order to legally play PC games, regardless of what company I bought a game from or where I bought it. Now EA and Ubisoft expect me to install their propitiatory bloatware in addition to the one bit I was grudgingly willing to put up with, meaning I now have to have three sodding things cluttering up my hard drive, two of which are totally unnecessary.

So, yeah, sorry chummo, there are valid and considered reasons for holding the entirely correct opinion that both Ubisoft and their "platform" are a steaming heap of fertiliser, but don't let reality ruin your smug little rant there.

So basically I'm wrong because I don't think Ubisoft's DRM was that bad, a DRM which they don't use anymore by the way, I don't mind having multiple programs for digital distribution since hard drive space is cheap I can run one at a time and I believe competition is very important when Steam has a monopoly, and I'm not foaming at the mouth with rage for Ubisoft, or any other company for that matter. Also, the phrase 'correct opinion'. Yeah, I'm just going to disregard your post there pookie bear. (also, I never posted an opinion on whether I think this is a good or bad idea, I simply posted that I saw this coming and I hate people who ***** over Ubisot DRM. Neither of which is an opinion of their DRM or Uplay. I'm not stupid enough to take a stance on those issue on this forum precisely because of angry posts like this are the only result of posting an opinion.)

Do these people realize that nobody wants to run several different programs and use different accounts? Where have they been these last years? They have to make their services worth using, which is hard compared to Steam.

Buying a Ubisoft game for PC is a clear sign that you're into some seriously nasty S&M.

lol don't slander the BDSM community.

I bought a game for £1, realised i had to have it installed, and uninstalled it. i already had this problem with ea's crap. the only reason that was installed was because they made 1 game that i actually wanted to play.
