Steam, Origin and Uplay

Steam is for the most part, brilliant. Origin works, has come quite a long way, only use it to play the Sims though :).

UPlay is absolutely terrible.
 
anyone else having issues with steam? ive had to login and then login again to see any details of my account whilst also verfying my comp and on top of that only my store front and game page comes up properly if i go to mail or gifts and so on it comes up in mega basic format writing and cant do anything.
 
I have managed to avoid Uplay so far, but for how long into the future I don't know.

Origin although I had issues with BF3, it has since developed into a good service. Although I still think it is a bit pointless.

Steam I hated when I first started to have to use it, back in 07 / 08, it was a complete PITA. Since then again it has improved and now I don't mind it that much, apart from when it won't let me log in.
 
There is nothing wrong with origin these days. It does its job just fine although I wish EA didn't create a job for it in the first place so it didn't exist, but it isn't 'bad' anymore. Even uPlay is tolerable with Xbox controller integration and generally working most of the time. They only seem to be missing some of the newer 'features' that steam has which I don't really care about 99% of the time like home streaming and big picture mode. I bought a large monitor, a sexy desk and a comfy office chair for a reason, Valve.
 
Steam is the business, for me. I even prefer their voice call interface to the in-game clients. Vent and TS are OK, but trying to figure the various setups and messing about with several different settings windows was annoying.

Origin works fine, although has far less features and there's very little I care to play in their catalogue.

Uplay has improved, but used to be insanely naff and I could never find anything. Has even less features than Origin and only just stopped its connectivity issues.
 
Origin is a 'meh' piece of software. I'd use it because I have to for a game, other than that I couldn't' care less about it. Not used it lately at all though.

uPlay on the other hand... putting aside its horrendous performance at the launch of Watchdogs which I can give it the benefit of the doubt for, the program itself is utter trash. It is terrible to use.
 
uPlay would be 10x better then it is now if it kept games up to date without having to click "play" first.

Origin has best customer service

Steam is the best and easiest to use
 
Fact is these days you are going to need multiple game managment clients,
Steam, Origin, UPlay, Battlenet and maybe doem others as well (nexon for dirtybomb is on my main PC right now, and i used to have some others as well).

Its not like were in the age of needing to free up that final 128k of ram is boot disks any more is it, as long as they run and dont crash im not too unhappy.
