That sits above Steam's launcher, so I launch the game via Steam, then Uplays pop up (slowly, then updates), I dig up my contact details from an old post-it, then the game launch! I think it makes sense for Ubisoft to have their launcher, but in the case of games sold through Steam, its mandatory use detract from the game. And on Steam, games that have been pulled from the store are still in the game library of buyers, so it's not an argument.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 7y agoI think the argument is that without the launcher, if the game is pulled then the customer gets no more updates, has no access to DLC, etc.
