Usually, you can't have that kind of nice things with Ubisoft

The title really overblowns the situation. In short: GMG account-locks Ubisoft purchases, they aren't giftable, that's all

That's how GMG called it... buy I'm gonna change it anyway :P

"We now support Ubisoft connect, and no, it's not 'for your benefit GOG-like connect'. It's 'for our benefit make-your-life-harder connect'."

I love the ubisoft person's statement... You need GMG open to buy. You need uPlay open to activate/download/play. So the best solution is to link the two together, so you basically save the copy-pasting time, and present it as something revolutionary.

Wow. Uplay is already shit, and they're trying really hard to make it even worse. As if Ubisoft games not having Steam keys wasn't bad enough, now they're removing keys entirely.

They force you to use their own platform and that's understandable. But they are also making impossible to trade and gift the Ubisoft games you buy on GMG. It's stupid lol.

Kinda makes me shudder at the thought Ubi might do this with every partner and we won't be able to make any GA or train for Farcry or AC.Thanks for the heads up btw (and another stress test) 😜

A more notable outcome of Ubisoft moving away from keys would be that Ubisoft ends up giving up on their tentative attempts at offering their games through Humble Bundles.

It's for preventing reselling on g2a, it could be stupid or not, but at the end of the day it makes sense

I didn't buy games for Uplay before, and this move.... doesn't change shit. I still won't buy them.
Fuck Ubishit with EA. 🤑

DSOGaming article about it: http://www.dsogaming.com/news/green-man-gaming-announces-new-partnership-with-ubisoft/
"We now support Ubisoft connect.
This new feature allows customers to redeem their Uplay purchase directly on their account by logging into their Uplay account, when prompted, from either their confirmation page or Purchase history.
Uplay accounts will not be connected to your Green Man Gaming account, you will need to login on each occasion to redeem your game. You can see a history of which Uplay account has redeemed each game in your Purchase History.
Keys will no longer be provided for Uplay purchases.
Please note, refunds cannot be offered if a key has been allocated to your account when a key has been allocated, although hidden from view, a redemption button will be present on your purchase history."
