Question about Uplay + Steam

from what i remember u dont need steam for boxed versions, so yes it will launch only uplay, and if u will want watchdogs for steam also im pretty sure u will have to buy it on steam to have it on it, ofc i may be wrong but im almost sure im not :)

I bought AC2 in boxed version and I didn't needed steam. But I can't redeemed it in steam

The moral of the story is, it doesn't seem worth it to buy Ubisoft's games on PC due to Uplay, so it makes more sense to go for console versions (if you have a console)

I think uPlay wouldn't make distinctions and they would appear as a single game. I think you would still be able to re-activate it, and it would depend where you download the game from (uPlay or Steam). If you download it through Steam, it will require Steam, if you activate the boxed version, only uPlay.

I have Far Cry 3 boxed, Assassin's Creed 3 boxed and then a number of other Ubisoft games as Steam versions. Unfortunately, I've never purchased two copies, but my guess would be that Uplay would not distinguish the difference and would run/update whatever one you installed first/last (because of the way Uplay stores the installation path).

Thank you guys, I tried to add you to give you a little something but looks like it doesn't work :-S

I own Far Cry 3 on Steam and this is what it looks like on uPlay. So my guess would be that you can have both versions at the same time, don't know for sure though.
