I mean sure it's a minor annoyance to log-in, register the game and then launch it, but Uplay never prevented me from actually playing the game. It's a similar experience to registering Dragon Age or Mass Effect on the Bioware site.

GFWL in comparison is a NIGHTMARE, I still refuse to play Dark Souls and GTA IV because of that. (to get Dark Souls to work took me literally 45-60 minutes.

Anyway I don't think games should be judged or downrated based on the DRM it uses, Ubisoft lets you know that you will have to install Uplay to play the game (if you use Enhanced Steam it even puts a humongous red banner notifying you).

It's annoying to see that users who made a choice as consumers to buy a game with Uplay DRM bashing the game itself on it's page and convincing people who'd enjoy the game nevertheless from buying it. (and there are amazing games using Uplay like Child of Light or the new game Valiant Hearts)

Anyway what do you think?
