I have tried on 3 occasions to purchase HAWX 2 - I have completed the process both via PayPal and direct payment yet I havent seen a single email from you confirming the order or anything. My order history is blank and I am now expecting to find that when I check my bank tomorrow my account will have been deducted £3 but I will have nothing to show for it.

payment authorization failed ... several times ... I only encountered the very same error on Origin. guesss what? they both use the crappy Digital River transaction services ... (couple of friends have the same issue, credit card or paypal, no difference. the can buy on Origin though...)

well done Ubisoft, I can keep my money then!

(customer service has no clue how things are going at their own company, I get he usual ******** about completing my profile, etc... which has been complete already! they just can't / lazy to contact Digital River to ask what the f*ck is going on)

Hello,

does this still mean I can keep using Steam and keep adding Ubissoft pc games on Steam or purchase Ubisoft pc games via Steam? Or will this from now on be the same crap like origin, which makes Uplay mandatory from now on???? Please enlighten us about the possibility to choose!
