Thank you for the information Chino, already added the game to the list. :toast:
Back on topic, Ironically I just reinstalled Watchdogs last week to start a fresh play through I've owned it since day 1 and even finished it(Rare for me to actually finish a game as you can see by my large library)
There is no space for DRM and MalWare on my PC...
I get it, game publishers are taking a page out of Hollywood's book and learn that the more you control the chain from production to customers, the more you get to milk it. But I vote with my wallet not to encourage that.
So many tinfoil hats here. So many people turning down free stuff. So many people complaining about Uplay or drm or whatever.
You DO know that Steam itself is DRM, and over the last few years has taken to allowing publishers to use all the DRM they want on top of Steam? So now all except GOG do it.
I always see so many haters on Uplay...I imagine many are just on the train. If you actually play the games through just Uplay, it is much more stable and fast than Steam. I wager that 90% who complain about Uplay are trying to play through Steam and then Uplay. Of COURSE there will be problems with two platforms AND any possible DRM.
Seriously, it's free, stop complaining. :p
Yes, I know Steam is also DRM (it's why I don't have a Steam account either - but I have no problem with those who do). One DRMed store where everybody can publish their stuff is acceptable in my eyes. Each and every publisher having their own store and storing my sensitive data God knows where, just because they want more data to crunch, is not. That's all.
Seriously, it's not free: i.pinimg.com/736x/96/b0/c6/96b0c6f93776ddaa63b3410ce803e8c2--the-product-its-you.jpg
This is just a launcher, and you don't even need a CC here or origin. You can even use a throwaway email if you want.
