but i do ... i HAVE TO use that piece of crap each time i want to play a ubi game on steam
U-Play is bearable. Not that i want it to be anything else as i have zero interest in the Ubisoft ecosystem beyond the two or three games i have on there.
I don't have any Ubi games on Steam either so luckily i rarely have to use the U-Connect or whatever it's called this week.

The UPlay that launches when you play a Ubi game on Steam isn't the same UPlay you launch when you launch UPlay without Steam, some features are missing and the overlay is the only thing that stays the same in both Steam-Uplay and non-Steam uplay.

Then Steam or Uplay is screwing up on something on my end because non-Steam Uplay works fine here.
Well, both versions works fine here, that's my main point, I don't have any issues with them.
The thing is that live service games need as many players as possible so if anything this will hasten Ubisoft's 180.
It's a company that has practically nothing left to offer me, there's no longer any quality in it, no talent, no brilliance whatsoever, it's the gaming equivalent of a fast-food chain.
What I'd give for someone to rescue Rayman, Splinter Cell and BG&E from Ubi... alas they are lost forever.
Beyond the GaaS shit, this whole "cross-studio, collaborative structure" sounds like a great way to have a rocky development and crush any chance of an original ideal to make into the game. But I guess having terrible work environment and derivative games are kind on brand for Ubisoft....
I respectfully disagree because Mario + Rabbids is a utterly fantastic game. I think there are brilliant developers at Ubisoft, but the top management needs a complete makeover.
Mario+ rabbids is collab with Ningendo ... . its the exception that proves the rule
.... meanwhile Ubi by themselves killed ever single drop of creativity that was there to produce fastfood of gaming

This. I'm glad I got off this franchise a long time ago
Yeah. They have a ton of talent there but every year the output seems more and more soulless unfortunately.

Earn Your Blood Money Across a Series of Daring Robberies - Rockstar Games
Step into the burgeoning criminal underworld of Red Dead Online: Blood Money on July 13th, and prove you are willing to get your hands dirty in service to some particularly notorious and well connected members of Saint Denis society.

coming July 29, dug the demo for this one, also on Game Pass PC at launch
It's a heavily modified CryEngine if i remember correctly. Yeah, Amazon with an Open Engine, where's the catch?
edit: ahh, there it is. You have to use amazon Services. I wonder if that's in the EULA for the Open Engine?
This is old, they have apparently removed such requirements.
As per this tweet chain.

I don't see the problem with Ubisoft Connect/ U Play/ Ubisoft-name-of-the-month.
When I wanted to install it all those years ago, it didn't want to so I never played a Ubisoft game ever again.
I see that as a win-win!

ngl guys, Ubisoft's case will always make me sad, I kind of grew up with their games, I have some very fond memories with the pop trilogy, Rayman, splinter cells. I still consider pop trilogy as one of my fav games, I have some very personal attachment towards it.
It'll always make me sad where they stand now vs what they used to be.

Depends what do you want from the Online mode. If you go and play it solo you go around and do story missions if you didn't do those before and then you can do basically various errands. for the most part you are left alone and there are cheaters but not that many of them overall. And then you have standard PVP modes.
From The Vagrant developer.
Yeah not interested in PVP, but if there are online exclusive missions or coop, me think I should finally play those games.
You can play story missions alone or up to 4 players in Online mode. There are not that many of them though. You play online if you just want to chill out and enjoy amazing RDR2 world. Other than that it is pure grind to buy anything. especially since they lowered gold payout.

Scanning folks faces is always leery to me.

24 hours remain of the sale. Always the time I feel compelled to make a few last minute purchases haha.
I spent last night looking at some off-steam VN sales and and DRM free games so i'm not sure i want to spend tonight looking for more discounted VNs.
I picked up Little Busters! last night, it's supposed to be great so i'm looking forward to it.
I also picked up NKODice for some childish fun and Spacebourne because i've heard it's a really decent Space game.

I was looking at Keys other title Summer Pockets, but not sure I want to drop that dosh on another VN or get Mass Effect, Snowrunner, or something else.

Yeah I played until the pirate game then jumped off until Origins because they were pretty much all the same thing. I didn't like how rigid Origins was with the level system (like how it was pretty much impossible to beat someone 1 or 2 levels above you) so I didn't even bother finishing that and haven't looked back.
now to decide which game to buy! 
Same. I just ignore these live service games (and everything from Ubisoft tbh). Lots of other games to play instead that are so much more fun than doing repetitive tasks.
Look on the bright side. At least the franchise you love continues to exist.
My favorite franchise died a painful death and became a pachinko machine.
What I wouldn't give to see Kojima make a Metal Gear Infinite right now. A live service never ending MGS with new boss updates, locations etc
One thing that hit me like a brick with a live service game that I tried were the design patterns meant to entrap you in a loop of addiction. Log-in bonuses, activities that take a long time, caps to what you can do at any given time, special gear and timed events everywhere.
Whatever the hell happened to letting players decide when they wanted to play?

This. I didn't mind using uplay, especially when uplay keys were dirt cheap on 3rd party keystores. Boycotting these keystores is one of the many things that turned Ubisoft from one of my favorite publishers into a company that I no longer want to support.

Best Ubisoft franchise nowadays is probably Anno.
If Anno 1800 would return to Steam, I would probably buy it...

I liked AC Syndicate and AC Black Flag.
All the games are the same, so it just comes down to characters and setting. And I liked Victorian London and Evie.
Oh and I also finished Rogue and Liberation.
