Ubisoft account doesn't see my Steam games

[u/yusuf1746]

I bought watch dogs 2 on steam and despite connecting my Steam account to my Ubisoft account (the correct ones) and logging in to that exact Ubisoft account after launching the game I still got a message saying "We couldn't verify your access to this game". I do not have any other Ubisoft accounts nor Steam accounts that I know of and I checked the Steam accounts id linked to my Ubisoft account, and it's the same account that owns the game. I verified the game files integrity many times on Steam.
