News Ubisoft is trying to wipe out key reselling with 'silent key activation'

You can't digitally buy Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow on Steam anymore.

i don't think Pandora Tomorrow was ever on steam

But I'm sure there are grey market keys floating around.

there are ... but at this point they cost an arm and a leg (almost literally)

What happens if Ubisoft decides to stop selling Far Cry 2 due to compatibility issues they're not interested in fixing.

ubi already pulled quite a few older games from steam ... that's why i bought pretty much all of them when they yanked GRAW and i had to pay basically $60 to get both (and it was right after they pulled them too ... i imagine those gifts cost like $500 by now)

I'll miss CDkeys.

I'll miss CDkeys.

CDkeys is safe, for as long as they keep on producing boxed copies at least.
But to be fair, some ubi games started to be as expansive on CDkeys as on uplay with the 20% discount (for EU only).
