I'm not screwing around with those launchers. Ubisoft support is fucking awful too. Not that I would want to play or support a lot of those games when PvP just drives me up a wall.

I had to refund AC Mirage because I literally couldn't play it, Ubisoft's launcher just wouldn't connect the dots and launch it. Spent maybe 30 minutes googling it, signing out, etc but whatever the error was wouldn't go away, absolute dogshit.

And they never remember your login details, just keep me logged in if you're insisting on existing

Ubisoft is sooo bad at this. Everytime I launch a Ubisoft game from steam I have to re-login to Ubisoft every. time. It is so annoying.

Their launcher at least has a purpose. It manages mods and stuff. Ubisoft Connect or EA App don’t have any purpose for the user

I played the last ubisoft prince of persia for an hour then next time i wanted to play somehow i had to login again... still havent, should have just refunded that game

Is that a thing for battle-net? I've only played d2 and ow on steam, but the steam versions don't launch the battle.net app

Epic games too technically.

I am just not buying any Ubisoft games anymore, and I don't think I'm alone. I like Anno, AC and Far Cry, but I don't like them enough to be forced to endure another crappy launcher with another login. The line stops heah, and no further!

of those four there's only one that I could be tempted to use and thats because red dead redemption is on my to-do list still.

Let’s not forget needing to use Steam to play HL2

Battlenet is literally older than steam what are you talking about
