I feel like the best gift they could give us would be to proof and bug check their games at least once before release.
but but, how you can deny the free labour of the players who play and have the honable task of reporting them to ubisoft

a lousy excuse to not lower the price of every game like steam but, only 2 free games? one having to do with the causualties of war and one with pirates? I get the war thing relating to the christmas pact during the civil war but, pirates? I think they just want to satisfy people who love AC but haven't bought AC:BF

except I don't want that virus known as Uplay installed on my computer.
It's not really a gift when you have to pay for it.

And by paying I mean installing Uplay.
That and also closing down Uplay.

A question for you guys: how many years has it been since you attempted anything uplay-related?

I just opened uplay, looked around for 2 minutes and claimed world in conflict. The user interface is just as convenient as steam as far as I'm concerned (heck...I can barely tell the difference). Obviously, just one guy using it for 3 minutes isn't exactly a statistic proof of stability, but c'mon...it's not like I had any problems with...erm...anything, really.

Of course I haven't used it back when ubisoft started out with the service. I can't but assume you did use it (and hated it), but even so...why keep the grudge? I don't care if you pass on the games, but I seriously suspect this is just bashing uplay for not being steam.

...and it's not like steam was heralded with open arms by the gaming community when it was new. It just got better in time (or less bad). I can't but assume the same goes for uplay, but I'm curious to hear if you've got any recent horror stories with the service?

UPlay isn't that bad at all nowadays. The most common reason I see (from reasonable people, anyways) for not liking Uplay or Origin and such is that they just don't like juggling between multiple platforms and would rather everything be in one place (AKA Steam).

But then I imagine most people actively shitting on it here is just doing so "cuz Ubisoft" instead of it actually being bad. Just like people shit on Origin "cuz EA". Both services have improved immensely in the past few years, and aren't nearly as bad as they used to be.

    You could say the same for a couple or so threads that used to be popular, I guess.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    I mean. All I ask was for people to see if ONE, SINGLE website is working properly in edge. 1000 people see it but cant be bothered at all

    Ready to just leave this place anyway. The amount of shit talking and bullying behavior that goes unchecked is crazy. No where else do I see this shit towards me and others. Not even on reddit have I been talked to like I have here by other members

    @RedColoredStars, I did read the last sentence in your post by the way. Maybe try changing the privacy settings in your browser to standard if that works.

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Thing is , the videos work fine in the Edge Dev and Canary builds. But whatever the fix they made was, has never been pushed to Beta or Stable builds. Its been that way for as far back as I tested. Which was Edge 84. They are on 125 now.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @RedColoredStars, Yeah, and I was in quite a mood at that time. I would consider choosing Firefox or Opera instead, been using Firefox for over 7 years now than Chrome.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Tried contacting Nintendo to see if they can reach out to MS about it. But Nintendo said the videos are working fine. Without enough people saying no, they don't work fine, it will never get fixed.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    I have Firefox and used it for many years. But Edge runs noticible faster on my pc at both opening and loading pages.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I don't think Nintendo will know anything about troubleshooting Edge. They mostly do technical support regarding their console family.
