Quoting: PKMplHonestly what is the problem, I hear complaining about Uplay all the time, all because it takes a bit longer now to launch games? Their optimisation also seems normal to me, although like I said, I play games after they get patched up.

If you hear many complains, it's good signal that that thing is actually broken, isn't it?

I bought only one UPlay-reqiring game and luckily, it was in Steam sale, so I wasted only 5$ or so. UPlay service went down as usual when sale, new game, full moon or pretty much anything else happens and stayed dead for entire weekend. But that mattered little for me, as I never actually reached past login window. And by never I mean to this day, about two years later. Ubisoft support was really nice, communicative, and manually-automated, so they closed my case as "firewall problem" after few mails. Thus I never actually managed to run that game... Well, I did, but only after downloading it from TPB.

And, well, according to Steam forum, I'm not first guy to get this problem. I'm not even in first thousand. And that's only one of many ways how U-Don't-Play can prevent you from playing game that you bought. Good reason for many complains, isn't it?

Well, having Ubisoft's games on Linux would be nice, but I already bought UDontPlay requiring game once and I'm not going to repeat same mistake twice. No matter of plaftorm.
