Edit:
for some reason, signing into the shop using Edge allowed me to grab a key.
Odd behavior, but nice to get a free game!
I've heard the game wasn't as good as we were lead to believe, but I always wanted to try it. I'll get around to it eventually. Doesn't matter if you bought it on Steam. You still are required to have Uplay if you want the game to run. Much like any recent Assassin's Creed game or Tom Clancey game or FarCry game..... Sure, you can buy the game through Steam and launch it through Steam, but Uplay has to run and verify your game key/code through Uplay and against the Uplay servers.
It doesn't matter if you buy the game through Steam or Uplay. Steam is just a verified seller for Ubisoft games.
And I don’t know which of them is faster but Steam can fully utilize my 240Mbit/s download speed which is great IMO.
Uplay is free and the game is free. What are you bitching about?
I can't complain about free though. As a courtesy, I won't trash their games here :p
I will complain on Watch Dogs 2 which is pure shit, the game will use up about 80% of my processor and I have a 7700k running at 4.6hgz. I am complaining because I got it free with a used SSD that I bought from someone, I could have sold it and recovered some of the cost of the SSD.
