The era of game keys is coming to an end
Recently Ubisoft signed some kind of deal with Genba Digital and it seems that you won’t be able to register standard game keys (CDKeys) on UPlay in the future. You will be able to purchase the desired title to your Ubi account and that’s it. The end of game key sites? Pretty much everyone who…
