Ubisoftrevealed its own upcoming game subscription service at E3 2019, Uplay+.
Did no one tell Ubisoft aboutMicrosoft’s Xbox Game Passleak last week, and its formal announcement yesterday?
Google Stadia A limited library?

The Google Stadia has been off to an odd start, to stay the least.
The Stadia also demands so much from its user to function as advertised.
Do you not have unlimited data?

That will be a problem to stream.
Do you not have a sufficiently high connection speed?
Enjoy that laggy, low quality connection.

Is anyone else in the home using the internet for something even remotely demanding of the bandwidth?
There is a third problem.
Want to play a game not made by Ubisoft?

Possible, though not probable.
What exactly is Ubisofts long-term plan here?
They do not seem ready to compete on price, or on selection.
Are they banking hard on the success of the Google Stadia to drive forward their new subscription service?
So far, the project is in early alpha, but the results look terribly promising.
Will Microsoft allow for its games to stream to Google Stadia?
I cannot fathom a single reason why they would.
Closing Thoughts
The Ubisoft Uplay+ pass is, in a vacuum, not bad.
For now, the future is wide open.
Doubtless there are going to be some bumps and learning along the way.
