I've purchased all my Ubi games on STEAM, but just thinking about this
something doesn't add up. UPlay isn't a disc protection scheme, its
just a login thing, right?

If the disc based games still come wtih a key, can you just add it to
UPlay and d/l the game? Guess if you can't do it that way through
UPlay you can still do through STEAM.

There was a time I agreed with you on wanting the physical media, but
I'm over it. I have a closet with about 400 game CD's/DVD's in it that
I never touch.
