Thats Not true At All. Because if You Could Read i Was Fully Able To Play The game When i Bought it. Its Some Bull shhitile Game Devlopers Are Doing To Wreak Steam. Steam is Not only A Store But A Account System So Players Dont have To Make A Account For Ever Stupid Delopers Website. Steam Accounts Are To Be used By Developers As Access passes, But Clearly Ubisoft And others Are Not With The program An Lying To Steam They Will Allow Access To Games Via Thier Steam Accounts. Haveing A Steam Account To Access All Games Is The Original Point of Steam. I Have Been On Steam For Years And Its Some TOm F/UUUUkkkzzeerrryyy Delopers Are Playinig. Which has Recently Started In The last YEar or So. The Fact You Responded As if Connect Is Normal when Its Not, Just Shows Your Ignorance To Data Collection, An Ubisoft Wasting Our Data Usage, An Most of All our Time siging into Thier Shhitile Website/store. Steam is Not Just A Store, Its A Account That Is To Be Reconiszed By All Companys For Players ID. Clealry Game Devlopers Are Not Holding Up Thier End of The Bargin By Reconizing And Ecorporating Steam Accounts. On Thier Severs. Not That i Need Thier Servers If They Jsut Down Loaded The Full Game To My Hard Drive. Like They Should Be Doing. Once Again Ubisoft Sucks soft egg rolls. BTW Just Posted This For Ubisoft To Read An Learn To F Off, Not To Actually Get A Response From Anyone But Ubisoft. Will Not Be Recommending Them To ANyone. Games Trash ANy Ways.

I have good news for you.
Ubisoft will no longer release new games on steam.
They ditched that leach witch socks 30% per sale.

HAHAHA I Heard Ubisoft Violated Steams Terms Of Service, And Is Being Sued As We speak, heard from reliabile sorceses from within. cuz i guess im not the first person to call them out for violating the steam community. Just Like I Said, Trying To Push Users To Thier junky third rate Game Store and webiste, an forcing users to make accounts is a violation of steams contracts. Thats why fortnight never came to steam, because they wanted to push Epic Games failed game store, which they are losing hundreds of thousands daliy. ubisoft really messed up, they are going to lose out on tens if not hundreds of millions from steam customers. its not that difficult to set up the system games even like Red Dead Redemption, Doom Eternal, League Of Angels have set up. [just to name some of the biggest names in the gaming world that are on steam] Never Have I had To make BS accounts to play the games i buy on steam. when installing the game an initially starting the game, steam gives me the normal decision to link my steam account to the game. never do i have to continusly make accounts for every devloper, thats retardation at its finest from ubisoft, frontier games, origin an any other developer that dose not get with the program on steam. The Way It Is Supposed To Go after instillation set up, i simply go to my libray on steam an hit play. THEN PLAY THE GAME. like wtf dont they understand, steam verifys users by Internet Protocall, passwords and other reletive programing verifications. Also I Trust Steam Much More Then Every Deloper indvidually. Its Jsut Safer To Have My Info Data And Games protected By Steam, Thats The Point Of Steam So No Matter What Happens To A Developers Servers I Can alwyas Play The Games i paid for. Now Im Getting A Refund And Other Games That Make My Life less Stressful And Confusing Can have my Money. not to mention control freaks who try an pretend that after i buy something from them its still thier property. i buy a GAME ITS MINE, I DONT NEED TO BE ON YOUR WEBSITE TO PLAY IT. Now im going to hack ubisoft connect and shut it down for pissing me off. Lolzzzz you know ubisoft really sucks when they came out with a new far cry but they went woke an lost ten of millions because nobody wanted to play the new one. i only got this game because the actor from that wearwolf show was the main charcter. other then that its just another shoot an loot game. nothing so crazy. soon ubisoft will understand the benifit of steam, not just for old games like spore that lost intrest but because the amount of mony it cost to host games is beyond what they can afford an the only way to make sure people keep playing an talking about your game is to give full copys weather it be hard disk, chips, or digital download. all very cheap either way. but dam im glad they getting sued, they wreked my weekend with my cuz for alike ten mins, then we just played RDR And Doom Eternal. Way Better Games Either Way. LOLZZZ

Uplay was required since the game launched, back in spring 2018.

FC5 has NEVER been playable on PC without Uplay/Connect (except the pirated versions ofc...).

EVERY FAR CRY game since FAR CRY 2 required a ubi account
to play far cry 2 multiplayer yes you had to register a UBI account i bought that game right here ON STEAM and yes i needed to make a ubi account using a e mail and password .. that was over a decade ago

(far cry 2 no longer has MP servers as of June 1st of this yr from what i understand as the game was moved to legacy status ..as yes its OLD )

https://forums.ubisoft.com/showthread.php/1241617-Online-Services-Update-Masterlist-Forums?s=4e28173932bf67c5c4b122e6e2bd10eb

far cry 3 shipped in 2012 again a UPLAY (now called UBI connect ) account was required NO MATTER WHERE YOU GOT THE GAME , same was true with Far Cry 4 Primal , this game , as well as FAR CRY NEW DAWN

all new UBI titles are no longer released on steam as of 2019 after new dawn and AC odyssey Shipped
Many many older titles that were developed BY UBISOFT that are still sold on STEAM yes DO ALSO REQUIRE A UBI ACCOUNT , again this has been the case for a DECADE or so
so its not some thing NEW

if you buy UBISOFT DEVELOPED TITLES ON STEAM , STEAM adds a DRM layer as you must have both the steam launcher loaded as well as UBI connect

DVD copies DO NOT USE STEAM AT ALL , as well as digital copies sold at many other UBI partner sites .. only a UBI connect account is required

I am not a tech person but agree when I've bought games in Steam everything seemed to work.
I got games that I've had for a while, years, now to play they ask for a login to their website.
It states I have a known steam account attached to this game but cant play because the email doesnt match?
It may have been that old where I dont knoow where to turn...

ALWAYS WRITE DOWN YOUR ACCOUNT DETAILS WHEN YOU CREATE ONLINE ACCOUNTS

i keep mine in a little address book i got at a office supply store and i keep it in my desk

if you lost your login details YOU NEED TO CONTACT UBISOFT SUPPORT DIRECTLY
same would happen if you lost your steam account details .. if you log in to another account .. NO YOUR GAMES will not be there

and yes you need to contact support , same thing happens if i lose my login details for my bank .my cable bill , my power bill or car payment company or CC company

only support can assist you if you have games registered to another account

remember your games are tied to the account that is tied to the e mail you used to register your games on .. FOR LIFE

see this page to contact UBI SUPPORT

Well Buddy Boy I Guess You not A Vintage Account Like Mine. I Never Have To Make Accounts For Devolopers, And Never Will. I Bought Far Cry Five And Did Not Need A Stupid ubisoft Account, To play it. Now They Trying to divert Me To ubisoft Store instead of Steam, Not Going To happen, They lost A Customer. i Got my Money back. I Buy The Game, I Expect it To Simply Download, Then Play When I hit play on Steam. Thats The Whole point of Steam. Sucks Your Letting These people Waste Your Life Making A bunch Of Accounts. The Fact That You had To purchase A notebook, proves My point, That The Hecktic Insanity of Makeing useless accounts Is Why Steam Reigns Supreme.

Clearly you Dont know how To Read, Because i already Stated i Did Not need A Account When i purchased The Game. So dont see the importance or worth of your comment??? just sound like a bot account trying to normalize somthing thats not actually normal on steam and never will be. ubisoft sucks and needs to get with the program.

A Man Of True Prestige!!!! I Am Glad To See Others Speaking Up Against The Insanity Of Repetitive Account Making. Good To Hear Most of All, Speaking The Truth That We Never Had To Make Accounts When We Bought Games, They Just Worked And Played Flawlessly Right Off Steam. I Fell Your Pain. I Have Had What You Described Happen With A Few Games, Its Them Breaking the Code Of Steam, Not incorporating Steam Accounts As A link UP Verification Any More Even Tho They Are Required/Supposed To. Its Total BS, It Just Further Solidify Our point, Repetitive Account Making is Worthless. They Just Steal Data, Ram, And Most of All our Time. I Hope The Steam Angels hear our Cries For Protection Against The Evil Developers Who Violate/Disregard Customer's Steam Linked Accounts, Data protection And Simplicity While Looking To play Our Games We Purchase on Our Steam Accounts. May Heaven Hear Our Prayers From The Chaos And insanity To Stop, And Let Us play OUR PURCHASED PROPERTY Without Inconvenience. God Bless Fellow Steamer, May The Interface Troubles Be Fixed In Our Favor, An We Play Gloriously On!!

vintage account .. LOL my steam account = older then yours

and yes this game as well as FAR CRY 3 FAR CRY 4 FAR CRY Primal and even FAR CRY NEW DAWN all require a ubi account and have since day one that they shipped .. even if you bought it on steam or any other online store

maybe your too young to remember yes you have always needed online accounts with PC games .. even going back to the days of KALI , MPlayer , the TEN Network and for OLD command and conquer games you had to register an account with WESTWOOD
heck even games spy had a user name and password system

and yea i have a notebook as yes i make online accounts to PAY bills and shop online , LIKE A NORMAL PERSON DOES ..and you should never use the same password for any online account .. THAT IS WHY YOU WRITE THINGS DOWN

sorry for your disappointment that yes you must have a ubi account .. but that has been true since day 1 that this game and many other ubi games shipped , they are NOT STEAM GAMES .. STEAM is only 1 web store that you can buy the game on .

I love these kinds of threads, full of rage and anger. It is a pain having to login to steam and than logging into another client but its what it is.

I do believe your issue is with valve for allowing developers access to steam who use 3rd party accounts. Valve should ban all developers who insist on using their own software if you ask me.

But this is the OP review of the game....

RetaRED uBISOFT nOW mAKES yOU cREAT A ACCOUNT SO THEY CAN TRACK YOU AND STEAL DATA OFF YOUR DEVICES. STEAM IS BEING WREAKED BBY COMPANIES LIKE THIS. DONT NEED TO BE ON THIOER ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ SERVERS AND ACCOUNTS RUNNING IN THE BACK GROUNF THAT STEALS RAM AN DATA. NO THANKS. GAME SUCKED AS WELL

OP really, time to move forward now dude. Hating for hating sake will only place wrinkles on your face. As you only have 0.8 hours played, refund the game and buy another game that doesn't require a 3rd party account. Time too leave Ubisoft well alone from this moment on.

Believe me m8, I point fingers and criticize every single one of them but the truth is, what can be done about it ? nothing at all. We all suck it and continue to give them money. So my view on the matter is, buy a game for what it is and don't base your purchases on the politics behind the game.

I have lost count on how many games I own across all 8 PC clients, xbox, playstation and switch. moblie and others.
