Watch Dogs 2 free for watching Ubisoft’s E3 event this Sunday

[wunkley]

Still not there for me yet. Seems to be a very mixed bag of who's getting it and who's not. No logic to it?

Registered a couple of hours ago, nothing yet. I did play watch dogs 2 on uplay+ so don't know if that will screw it up.

I saw the link posted earlier and used it I believe early this morning. Just came home and I’ve got an email stating I’ve got Watchdags and the other items. Sure enough the game is in my library.

 

[Proto]

Not sure when it was added to my library, but received the following in an email at about 4 p.m.

Spoiler

Cheers for the link - fingers crossed it works

Game is beautiful and runs well for the most part. Turning on temporal filtering is a must though. Enjoying it so far even though the character controls a bit sloppily. Driving on the other hand is atrocious.

 

[Malevolence]

Nothing here yet. But then it is UbiSoft and just look at how they ****** up The Division 2 giveaways on Twitch, they ended up giving every player the items regardless of whether they watched the crappy stream or not.

Something about a **** up in a brewery springs to mind.

Still nothing here

Surprised a 2080 ti heavily OC'd and a i9-9900 @ 5.2Ghz on all cores can't run a game from 2016 at max settings! Typical Ubisoft lol

 

[The_One]

Still not had anything registered yesterday first thing

Same.

I swear the longer it takes to get this game the less likely it feels like i'll get it haha

 

[Andr3w]

Makes me feel better knowing nobody else has it yet though

Yep, misery loves company!

haha that's your mind playing tricks. I have no doubt the rest of us will get it

 

[Tourm]

No game yet either.

I used their support chat and apparently they're sending the game to Uplay accounts in waves.

I've also just noticed...

After registering, you will soon receive your free PC copy of Watch Dogs 2 in your UPLAY library. All other in-game rewards will be available directly in the related games.

We are aiming to have all rewards to be granted to your accounts within seven days.

I still don’t understand how these giveaways work. Someone registers and it stores the info in a database. Why on earth does it take seven days to run a program to add a licence to accounts referenced in that database?

It was similar thing when EA gave free Origin Access basic to everyone. It took a month to grant that in waves.

I can only guess they don't want everyone to attempt to download the game from their servers at the same time and overwhelm them.

Look at what happened when GTAV was given away...server meltdown!

Yeah i can see this 100% being the reason, even more so the fact i'm sure more people will register compared to who watched it. If all you have to do is register.

 

[BobShark]

Watched the stream, submitted the registration form the day after and still nothing for me!
