The only problem is that once you delete it from your steam account completely and try to re-purchase the ultimate through steam as is suggested, you get an error message stating "You already own a removed edition of this game." So essentially it doesnt let you buy a new one.

The way I made it work was buying the Ultimate edition through Ubisoft online store itself. It's the same price as on steam. You just log into your ubisoft account online, go through purchasing the ultimate edition, and it'll automatically get added to your ubisoft account in the launcher. I launched the game through ubisoft's launcher first and there was all the operators I wanted as well as all the achievements/progressive i had previously. Hope this helps. Took me a while to figure it out as no one was helpful.

You can try getting a refund, then buying Ultimate, if you have low enough hours.

Only if you delete rainbow six from your account through Steam support and then rebuy the ultimate edition, there's no way to upgrade for lower price

No, it will not. I suppose you could add it as a Shortcut on Steam to do so.

Nope. It is a different edition of Siege. You'd have to launch it through Uplay specifically.
