My son is giving me M&MX-Legacy for Christmas, and to play it on my PC I’ll need to download either Steam or Uplay. Which would you suggest?

Steam! You might even pick something else up on the current Steam holiday sale.

I have it on Steam and Uplay starts when you launch it from Steam. It’s not a biggie for me since I have Steam on most of the time anyway. But it’s a pain in the arse.

O.K.-I downloaded Steam, then got DDO to play around with until M&MX Legacy becomes available.
