Just referencing several people above. I really don't understand all the hate on U-play. For me, it's actually quite smooth and stable, and operates nearly as well as Steam. The games synch and launch and update just as smoothly. They actually sell games that play on Origin or Steam, without requiring two-provider BS like Steam does.
For Example, buy Far Cry 3 on Steam, which redeems the code on U-play, and you still have to run it from Steam, which just increases potential problems. However, if you buy, for instance, Call of Juarez Gunslinger on U-play (but activate it on Steam), it brings up Steam to install. Finish your install on Steam, and from then on, it's a Steam game, and you never need to open U-play to play it again, it's in your Steam library, thus no two-party provider requirement is forced on you. They have achievements (for those that care about achievements), and U-play points earned by game progress can be earned for some cool, tho minor in-game stuff.
Personally, They do alot of the things Steam does well, and that Origin does none of. Origin is just a closed off launcher. U-play, aside from being from Ubisoft, isn't all that bad IMO. I do only have 7 games with them though. Anywho, not proclaiming it to be awesome, just providing a non-argumentative alternative view.
. if someone wants these titles, PM Me and There Yours... all the titles are in one key so your stuck with all of em and it activates through Origin. First PM gets 'Em.
