South Park Won't Require Uplay On PC
You won't have to use Ubisoft's digital game management software Uplay to play South Park: The Stick of Truth.
Obsidian's official Twitter account dropped the new in answering a fan who had asked if they would have to use the Uplay client to play the game if they preordered it on Steam. Obsidian tweeted in response: "No, Uplay Will not be featured in SP: SOT."

Our Take
It's good to see that Ubisoft won't be requiring uPlay to run in order to play South Park - customers generally don't appreciate having to run a client (or at least a client that's not Steam)
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription.

We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.

We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
