also ubi is giving a free game if you buy it from them.
I'm not desperate enough to buy into their "p-p-please buy o-o-our game, w-w-we'll give you shit that you can get on Steam already" apology tour. Fuck that.
Since you need Uplay to play their games, why even buy Ubi stuff anywhere else?
discounts mainly. i got division 1 for $5 in a steam sale. it's pretty silly that you can only start it in steam. even if i try to open it in uplay it'll launch steam to then switch back to uplay and launch the game.
AFAIK you can launch it through Uplay itself and it shouldn't require that.
As it is, I buy off Steam for the discounts and having everything on one store-front. I don't give a shit about it booting up Uplay since that's only seen for two minutes of launch and exit. Uplay's client is shit and I refuse to support that shit just like I refuse to support Epic. Neither one are on Steam's level. So I'll pass until Ubisoft capitulates. Again: I'm not
dying to play the game, especially since I know Ubisoft is going to cliff-hanger the game's story (the major reason I played the first one in the first place since it's E3 announcement trailer got me interested in it) to put a Division 3, 4, 5, and 6. I can fucking wait.
