It seems that you're using an outdated browser. Some things may not work as they should (or don't work at all).
We suggest you upgrade newer and better browser like: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Opera

JAAHAS: Dear Ubisoft, should you release the game here DRM-free, I would gladly buy it. But with DRM I will not play it even for free.
Exactly this was my point. Thank you!
Nice, i'm only mildly interested in Watch Dogs but i'll grab it for free. :D
Even free, I don't think I need this. Not with Chip and Ironicus's let's play already out in the wild.
Speaking of UPlay...

I really, REALLY wish Ubisoft would add more titles to GOG haha
Already have this one and the sequel, but +1 for the heads up!

darthspudius: So why bother commenting then? You anti-DRM folks are like vegans, just have to tell everybody when not one of us give a shit.

Claimed the game btw, thanks for the heads up!
I think a lot of people here DO give a shit, but at the same time, it's like anything else. Elitists claiming not to be elitists acting like elitists. See: Vegans and crossfit practitioners.

Seriously, substitute meat for DRM: I'd totally get that if it didn't have meat bundled with it!

But you saying that here is like going to a vegans club because you like their salads and complaining about the vegan responses when someone like you (or me, or the OP) says "Free burgers at the Krusty Krab for anyone who wants one!"

Not DRM free and not even the steam version, but its free and probably good to have as a GTA replacement. Servers seem to be down atm, but good luck!
Careful - the vegans are massing and may attack since your offer contains meat!

PainOfSalvation: I cannot login on my Ubifail account via browser, keeps throwing login error. -.-

timppu: Yeah same here, I guess the web servers are down, overstressed? Through the client the login works but apparently you can't change account settings through that. Silly.

Does this freebie have some "release date" in the future, as it says I can only preload it for now, not actually play it?
I've contacted Ubifail support on Twitter, they told me to try with different browser and it worked!

Since the browser got automatically launched from the Ubi client link, it was the default Windows 7 browser, IE 11. I guess they don't support it then... I guess I have to copy-paste the link to Firefox or Chrome.

On the whole, lately it seems to me internets seems to have become oddly fragmented, as far as browsers go. Earlier I pretty much always used Firefox and it worked great everywhere, at some point I started using IE 11 on GOG.com and the Humble Bundle store so that I keep the cookies for those sites and don't have to deal with 2-factor authentication all the time...

Anyway, at some point IE 11 started having issues on GOG.com, like some of them menus missing and stuff. So I switched to Chrome for GOG (Firefox would work as well I guess, but since I clear cookies on it every day...).

IE 11 has also had long-time issues in e.g. google.fi and google.com, it is as if it gets totally stuck there (Firefox and Chrome don't). If I start typing anything to the search box, IE 11 seems to freeze for some reason, as if it can't figure out how to search.

Firefox, on the other hand, has started having issues on my online bank. I can't log in with FF to the bank, but with Chrome I can.

So now I am using both Firefox and Chrome in tandem, depending where I visit and whether I want to keep or clear the login cookies after the visit. IE 11 gets launched in situations like this where I click some web link which launches the Windows default browser; maybe I should change that default browser to something else then, IE 11 seems to be becoming useless for many sites (I guess web devs and MS itself care only about Edge compatibility now).
