* Reliability (both servers and client). Everytime I try to a play a uplay game I've had to screw around with getting a fresh installation of the uplay client.

* Client performance

* Similar to Origin, part of the motivation is so the games don't have to compete with the price of games on Steam, so end up being more expensive.

In my experience, I'm unlikely to be able to play games due to issues with their auth servers.
