Ubisoft and Steam keys

You have to play it on uplay even if you have it on steam. Launching it from steam will automatically install uplay and it will run it every time you run the game.

I know that doesn't answer your question in particular, but it may have a bearing on whether you want to even bother trying to get a steam key for it.

Create your uplay account (name, password and email), then play a great game.

It's not that much of a hassle after the the initial setup.

its a great game, and uplay isn't so bad...i suggest you should install it, but if you still don't want to and wish to give the game i would love to play it :)

but still i strongly suggest you play it :)

i can understand not wanting uplay, seeing how they were attacked earlier this month/last month. itll just be nice if uplay and Origin had a better UI and not force the need for additional programs to play the games especially if you buy them from steam.

This is the response I got from them last year, after asking if there's a possibility to get a Steam key from them for free or by paying a small fee:

Thank you for contacting Ubisoft Technical Support regarding Assassin's Creed: Revelations. In order to respond to this email, please update this incident (Please do not create a new incident). Unfortunately we are not able to provide you with Steam keys for the game. In order to transfer all your games to Steam you would have to purchase the games directly from them. If you have any further queries or issues please do not hesitate to contact us again and we will assist you further.

So no, you can't get a Steam key from them. And Steam comes with Uplay still, so you will need a Ubisoft account regardless.

You guys seem to be forgetting that, steam has been hacked in the past before, and not just once. No system/platform is secure. NONE.

Personally I would rather to just deal with steam instead of freaking 3-4 programs but thanks to EA and Ubisoft I have to deal with other programs. One day Ubisoft MIGHT drop their Uplay system ( doubt it. ) but we all know EA wont drop theirs lol. Something we sadly have to deal with due to enough people accepted it as being ok so these companies are going to do it.

edit
Besides that, not much of a hastle with making a uplay account. I have Farcry 3 ( did not buy that one on steam.. bought it on sale somewhere else and it did not activate on steam sadly. ) and Heroes of Might and Magic VI. Enjoyed both quite a bit. Farcry 3 probably more than HM&MVI tho. ( But still enjoyed it. Like it more than V... that is 5 if you are wondering, and VI is 6..)

I guess its more, that I would play the game on steam, but Im not interested in all the ubisoft/uplay stuff ( I console game on playstation, I pc game through steam) Guess Im just picky. :p

Uplay just gives you free but useless dlc.

I really don't understand what's the problem with uplay...of course I would like to have all my games in the same place, but if there is no other way of playing them, just fuc*ing open uplay....are really not going to play any Ubisoft game because of this?

The steam version of the game also needs an ubi account. On the steam version, you can just open the game from steam and that's pretty much it. It's like adding a non steam game to your library.
