lol @ people overreacting
have fun uninstalling your expensive games for no reason, im gonna go play some more assassin's creed II.

edit: just started up ACII, and dissolve is indeed correct, uplay updated to 2.0.4, changelog says the browser plugin has been fixed and is now only able to open uplay. so panicked handicap OP should change the title

all these games suck anyway why would anyone have them installed

I'm not an expert on root kits or programming but I do hate having to log into another system with Steam games. At least Windows allows offline accounts for single player games like Red Faction Guerilla. Uplay locks your games into one account.

I'm proud that Ubisoft stepped up and fixed there mistake quickly.

Now, to go play AC: Brotherhood. :D

How true/real is this?

Eluxsam · July 30, 2012, 06:29:57 PM

I had R.U.S.E. beta, did that have the Uplay thing?

That is scary as hell... Once this is fixed, I hope they give us a free Ubisoft game.

OP didnt tell us what its meant for and actually does. he only told us what it theoretically could be used for and isnt happening.
