It took me less than 10 minutes to create a Ubisoft ‘Uplay’ account, install the Uplay client and get the game; and a lot less complicated than the same procedure with Steam. Once you’ve installed UPlay, there are some other free games available too — well worth the effort.
SOS’s ‘Terms and conditions’ say this is installed into an Origins account — wrong! SOS might want to correct that since Origins has a dubious reputation.
I look forward to playing this, so thanks to Ubisoft and SOS!
