Uplay just inserts itself between Steam and your game. You start the game, Steam loads uplay, uplay loads the game. You still have access to Steam features, the overlay, your Steam friends, etc. Uplay also gives you access to some content that isn't available elsewhere.
It is one more thing to setup when installing a game but once you do, you are all set. After that, uplay just sorta works. It updates itself automatically.
The only minor gripe is that uplay doesn't close itself when the game finishes but that might be a technical limitation.

As i am able to add 'Non-Steam' game:( Thank you for your help!
You are a big help:). Originally posted by: Oh, you can absolutely play with your Steam friends.

As i am able to add 'Non-Steam' game:( Thank you for your help! You are a big help:) That's a good question. I've never purchased direct from uplay so I don't know. Here's my guess: If you activate the game on Steam, that usually means you get Steam achievements. If you're just adding a non-Steam game to your Library list then no.

The link gets bleeped out, i added you as a friend, if you would continue to help me?:) You caught me going on the door, I'm afraid. If someone else doesn't respond to this, I'll pickup when I return. (Around 3hrs) No need to post the link. Naming the vendor would work. Most vendors will say somewhere in the product page that 'requires Steam to activate' or words to that effect.
If you don't see those words, the game might still activate on Steam. Worst case, you could just run uplay as a non-steam game.which might still get you access to Steam friends when playing SC: Blacklist.

I have gotten the help from you my friend! Thank you very much!
Ubisoft Game Launcher
I have figured it out, and my assumption was correct. It was only a Uplay key, as i didn't click the option or the Steam Key. Thanks a lot! Awesome help. Originally posted by: Uplay is a requirement. It isn't too bad once you get things setup though.
Uplay used to be a real son of a ♥♥♥♥♥ to get running. So i am not able to play with my Steam friends?:'( Sorry, im super noobish to other DRM other then Steam and Origin. U still wouldn't be able to. Ubisoft game require Uplay regardless of Steam purchase or not. Games like: Far Cry 3 Assassin's Creed III Splinter Cell - Blacklist Even purchased on Steam, when u click play will launch Uplay and then auto launch the game.
So really makes no different, if the game is on Ubi and uses Uplay, it will no matter where u get it from.
