I’ve been sailing for their games and Ubisoft for years. Ubisoft’s PC launch of AC2 was so bad I’ve refused to buy anything that requires Uplay.

There were tons of people (myself included) who couldn’t play AC2 for 3 weeks at launch because Uplay account issues. Then it required you to be online to save progress. But their own servers kept going down without warning or any kind of indication. I played the opening couple hours of AC2 at least 3 times because of my saves being lost. Which at that point was a month after release. And I gave up. Never finished.

So fuck EA and Ubisoft. The alternative options to acquire their games end up being the better user experience.
