I hear you. Ubisoft only has three big disadvantages:
1) Uplay is like a bugged, sucky version of Steam that's trying to hard.
2) GODDAMN DRM BULLSHIT. All of their games jump in on this bandwagon. I even once bought a Ubisoft title and received so much trouble for my worth (servers down, DRM, downloader issues) that I would've had better service if I had pirated the game, which is downright preposterous.
3) Ubisoft games seem uncannily bugged. It's less worse with the real big-time titles (i.e. Assassin's Creed), but literally every release in the less mainstream universes they maintain (i.e. Heroes of Might & Magic, the Anno series and Settlers) that I've played was littered with so many bugs it was close to unplayable after release.
When you get into the games themselves and actually play them through it's generally amazing how much thought, splendid art, clever dialogue and interesting storyline the team has managed to put in. Additionally, their games seem to really evolve: sequels generally bring all the good things from their prequels with them while only innovating the worse aspects of the game. All of this only makes it more of a shame that those three earlier problems drag the company down so much.
What are you talking about? Since WoW was released they've also released StarCraft 2 and Diablo 3. What more 'expansion' of their universes do you want?

Personally my only problem with blizzard is that they let WoW go to their head and haven't expanded the Starcraft and warcraft and MAYBE the diablo(least likely) universes. They started to expand Warcraft and starcraft, then when wow came out the cancelled the starcraft project...
They should be expanding these expanding their horizon, when the FPS boom came about they should have had Staracraft Ghost read to ship.
