I thought you was going to say they are merging clients. Which wouldn't be a bad thing because Uplay is naf!

I will not touch uPlay with a stick, i cant stand it, worse than origin, and servers are so slow, no wonder people pirate PC games

I downloaded Splinter Cell: Conviction from Steam and then a while ago when I open the game, I get a Uplay screen on which I have to hit the play button to play the game. What's the deal here? Does it mean the game is a Uplay game that I've just bought from Steam?...if so, how can you play this game "without touching Uplay with a stick" Wozza? (because I know you want to, lol.

piracy is the only way im afraid as they remove these services, but obviously can't be played online, I don't pirate games at all, but I also don't want this crappy service, especially as Ubisoft supplied me with a fake or broken code that came with a disc, and only because the guy at game knew i wasnt joking did i get a replacement

yeah, neither will I

I wonder why Steam isn't included in this team of super-best friends?

I only use uPlay when forced by games through steam usually (although I was 'suckered' into purchasing AC3 early which was on uPlay)

 

[SlickShoes]

I want to get Trials Evolution Gold Edition but I bet it will only be on Uplay, I have such a large collection of games in Steam now that using another client for one game is something I am not willing to do, i'd rather miss out on the game at release and pick it up a couple of years later for £5 and deal with the other client when I am utterly bored.

So what exactly is wrong with Uplay?
Is Steam the favourite for all you guys?
Which other clients are good?
How's Greenman Gaming?

Cheers for your feedback.

Ahem. Naughty tom.

uPlay is just a poor shadow of Steam imo. It seems to be very slow and often doesn't connect for what appears to be no reason. I must admit, games that play (from steam but through uPlay - FarCry 3 for example - seem to run ok).
It's certainly the favourite client of mine, if I can, I get the game on Steam. I only use uPlay/Origin if I am forced into it.
Origin is ok compared to uPlay but I'm sure there are other clients out there (lesser known ones maybe?) I have no experience of them really.
Greenman Gaming is excellent! Used them plenty of times for games and have not had any issues with them so far

Thanks Steaky,
I've only played Splinter Cell: Conviction on Steam via Uplay and it's been fine. I only DL though, I don't play online.

anytime mate...

Steam FTW but I do buy EA & Uplay games then just add them as a non steam game. I'm not one of them guys that will pay £5 more just because it's on steam when you clearly still have to use Uplay & Origin to play the games anyway.

 

[Chaotic Entropy]

At least Origin doesn't have the gall to jump up and demand you sign in to it to play games.
Ubisoft really rather try my patience when using their games through Steam.

Open Steam > Finalise Install > Install UPlay > Stops loading > Start again > Update Uplay > Restart Uplay > Update Uplay > Restart Uplay > Update Uplay > Restart Uplay > Update Uplay > Restart Uplay > Opens Uplay > Create a Uplay Account > Register my Game > Check for Game Updates through Uplay > Finally Get to Play Game. -_-'

Uplay then hassles me on my way out of the game too. : /
