Hi guys, I'm wondering if I get blacklist on Steam, can you link your Uplay account to your Steam account or something? I'm very paranoid because my friend plays it on Uplay and I have an Uplay account but if I buy it on Steam, I feel more "organized" for some reason.

I don't think you can lin k both account you just have to log on to your uplay account when you start blacklist on Steam.

When you purchase the game on Steam, it will still require a Uplay account. It will give you a product key to use for activation on Uplay.

Also I'm wondering if Steam people play online with Uplay people, or is it in different servers..?

When you launch the game through Steam, it will open Uplay anyway, so yes you will be playing on Uplay servers no matter where you bought the game.

It's a UPLAY game, plain and simple. Does not matter where u buy from, it will require and use UPLAY. Same is the case for all of these games > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uplay

Easy way to ensure UPLAY launches correctly, is to first install & launch UPLAY by itself and login and set it to remember that login (except when on a shared computer). Then when u launch a Steam game that requires Uplay, it should all run without a problem.

If it's a Uplay game however, then it will not have any Steam achievements (only Uplay based ones). In which case I would avoid a 3rd party game client and just buy through the original game maker/client. Due to the fact that if a game needs Uplay for example, but u purchased it through Steam, the game must be lauched from Steam in order to play. If you load up Uplay and then launch a game that was purchased through Steam (or other game client) it will not work properly and/or will require the original game client to then be launched.

Quite simply; NO. With only an Intel HD GPU, u will not be able to run most games. Most games do not support this GPU. And while it may run some games, they will run poorly at best. Now if u had newer specs (like a 3rd or 4th gen Intel CPU) then it would have a much faster Intel HD GPU, but still these are not meant for gaming.

One last question lol, can I have 1 game that has been bought on 2 different computers? Do I have to buy it for the other computer to be able to access the game on both?

You can download the game on as many PC's as you want, but you can only play it on one at a time.
