yes

ok so All PC players, whether STEAM or Direct UBI purchasers will be pooled together for matchmaking?

Kinda an important decision, as I want to be able to play with the largest selection of players.

yes. the way purchasing a uplay game on steam works is that you buy it via steam, then you activate the key given to you from steam on your uplay account, launch it from steam, then it launches from uplay. you still play with everyone on PC

The Uplay store has a 20% off coupon you can get for 100 Upoints (or whatever they're called), so you can get it for 48 moneys($/Eur/whatever) instead of 60. On the other hand, Steam allows you to refund your preorders until release day, also 14 days after purchase or after less than 2 hours of playtime. Also, Steam has customer service.

That's a lie. 20% doesnt work with new games and pre-purchases

It's not a lie, it might however be a regional deal. I used the 20% discount to purchase my Gold Edition yesterday (from Sweden).

I used my 20% off to pre-purchase For Honor for 48$ instead of $60. If it doesn't work for you, maybe it's region locked or has some other restriction.
