Ubisoft Club for Uplay members rewards with 'exclusive benefits'

Like extra game content, in game items, badges and shop discounts.

Read more.

Because UPlay isn't bad enough already. Note to Ubisoft: If you're going to copy things that Steam does, don't start with the pointless bits nobody likes. A better start would be making it less of a crashfest and stop your overlay (which nobody uses,) interfering with other running programs.

Oooh badges!

Could be interesting if it wasn't uplay. (Ubisoft - the only publisher I avoid more than EA...)

I hope nobody bothers with this so ubisoft get the hint that nobody want's all their crapware & that definitely includes uplay.

I'm honestly stunned...

If only their servers stayed up long enough to download a full game.

I feel like the head of Ubisoft must be a guy who just constantly comes up with new ideas and nobody has the heart to tell him 'no'.

Hang on ... didn;t they already do this before ??
You gained points and then exchnaged them for wallpapers, etc.

I would rather collect points on my driving licence. Presume this BS feature is required because account based purchases (non-ownership) is not bad enough already.

Sell me a game with a preset date or count down to when DRM will be removed. I like games. I want to buy them.

Either that or I will wait 10 years to play the same and spend a negligable amount of money and enjoy community mate patches / mods.

Here are my stats for Ubisoft / Uplay.

Hours : 0

Wouldn't touch a Ubisoft game with a bargepole, due to their invasive crappy spyway.... sorry DRM.

Shame because the FarCry series look fantastic

So, they are going to make you earn this cut content now, awesome.

It could be worse - Could be the announcement of yet another crappy Assassin's Creed!!

Seems to be the same, except now you get them for making purchases through the Ubi store as well (or possibly instead, it's not entirely clear).

I logged in today by chance to redeem my free copy of Syndicate from NVIDIA now that positive reviews are beginning to surface. Must admit, it does look very polished! Can't fault them for improving their service but as people have said, the front-end wasn't really what needed polishing.

Is this meant to change my stance towards the steaming pile of turd that is UPlay?

Nope.

I much prefer the recent update to uplay, looks polished.
