For the game itself there is no downside of purchasing it via steam, or uplay. In the end you will uplay to start the game though. As a side note: The steam release may, or may not be later than the release is via Uplay for you. Depending on where you live. If this matters to you, check the post about launch times first: http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php...r-Launch-TimesOriginally Posted by Squ1dF4ce Go to original post
Steam release is tied to American time, so you will get it at 12am PDT (I think). If you buy on uplay, you get it at 12am your local time.
Also, if you for any reason don't like the game, Steam has a great refund system where you can refund a game if you played less than 2 hours and purchased it less than 2 weeks ago.
Otherwise there is no difference where you buy. Matter of preference. Just buy where it is cheaper/more convenient for you.
The 20% discount doesn't apply to new releases thoOriginally Posted by Nexuss94 Go to original post
