Ubisoft launches Steam competitor called Uplay PC.

As first launch, the software lacks so many essential features, but what made me disrupting is that it seems it can access to my Ubisoft-related profile without asking permission... It did not ask any log-in information, yet somehow it found my account and automatically logged on.

It's like Origin scaning Steam folders for EA games and add them for its own, but I think it is far more aggressive approach.

So, because EA does it own, crappier version of Steam, Ubisoft thinks it can do its own, crappier version of Origin? Talk about a race to the bottom.

And so, another studio which will not receive a cent from me if they try to force this on PC gamers.

Ubisoft is already on my no-money list due to their DRM, and this is just ensuring they stay there.
