Ubisoft's Despised DRM Continues To Annoy, Fail
Found on Techdirt on Thursday, 22 April 2010
Ubisoft's latest game to carry this DRM, Assasin's Creed 2, has also now been cracked, with hackers sending a personal message to Ubisoft in the pirated copy's .nfo thanking them for the challenge.
This latest title lasted all of a month before being fully cracked (there was an earlier crack that worked, but only for certain localized versions), and while the crackers may not be the best spellers, they apparently understand that Ubisoft leeches value from their products by layering them with obnoxious DRM solutions.
Ubisoft not only wasted tons of programming hours, but also annoyed customers on a massive scale, causing a PR nightmare. Well, you get what you deserve.
