if it weren't for this thread making me realize it was only on Uplay, I would have probably bought it. Thank you for the dollar saved!

What's with all the uPlay hate? Admittedly, I don't deal with them much - the only reason I have an account there was to activate my Might and Magic bundle games, but I was able to download and play them just fine.
I don't mean to disagree or anything, would just like some clarification as to what exactly doesn't work or people don't like.

Other than some security issues and always-online requirements on games that existed in the past, the current PRESENT issues exist:
1: Games flat out don't work some the time, having errors syncing to the UPlay DRM
2: Certain games still don't allow you to play off-line.
3: UPlay sometimes has cloud syncing errors, corrupting save files or preventing you from loading the game for a while.
4: The UPlay client sometimes acts up
Those are the issues I'm aware of, and I know they're bad enough that certain UPlay-inclusive games like Heroes of Might & Magic 6 are, for many people, near unplayable because of it.
I suppose M&M games are old enough they wouldn't have that issue.?
I think it's mostly newer games that have the issues, rather than older ones; and in that sense, this bundle may have little to no issues at all;
But the CHANCE of UPlay screwing up is high enough to not want to risk it.
Add in the fact that they don't care about all the games currently unplayable/troubled on their service, and it's hard to want to support them at all.
Though as others have noted in this thread, it's easy enough to go 100% to charity, to avoid that part of it.
Of course, also worth noting, nearly all Ubisoft games on Steam itself also still connect through Uplay [often causing even more issues, as the two DRMs can interact poorly with each other]. So in that sense, you may not really lose anything for buying a bundle like this.
At which point it becomes a 'do you want to deal with having the UPlay client installed [in addition to GoG Galaxy, Steam, Origin, etc]', and that's what kills it for me :P
The reason I'd hold out for Ubi games on Steam, even with the same DRM issues, would be convenience of loading.
Basically, everyone has their own perspectives, and a lot of people just gripe any time something isn't on Steam, regardless of anything else.
But UPlay DOES have some legitimate issues, unfortunately- though in fairness, not any worse than Steam used to have, in the far past.

I have some games on Uplay but I agree that they should add the Steam versions!

I do love me some Tom Clancy games. But I have also been having a lot of problems with uPlay lately...

Really good bundle! Also, what does everybody hate about uplay? Never made any problems to me.

I don't know either. UPlay is not bad lol, especially now after numerous updates.

Can anyone tell me how to check languages of those games? I mean, my father would probably buy tier 10$ if they had Polish language (or at least if Blacklist did) but there is no mention about this anywhere. Kind of stupid of them lol.

What? Only main menu is in Polish? It's impossible. Why would they translate main menu but not the rest?

I get it but I have a hard time beliving that as I've never seen such a thing before. A game is either in Polish or it's not. No one translates only menu and leaves the rest in some other language, it just doesn't work like that, especially in an official version.
I'll have to look into that. Thanks though.

Few bucks for some of the best series on PC platform, without cards to idle and without numeric increase to mine (Nope, no, not really bro - sincerely your Steam subscription) e-peen virtual game collection number? Are you crazy? What do expect me to do, play those games?! I mean, isn't that absurd?
