Ubisoft's New DRM System Falls Down, Locks Out Paying Customers
Published on January 01, 0001
Hey, Ubisoft: when you force users to maintain an 
internet connection even when playing a singleplayer game offline, you’d damn well better make sure you hold up your end of the bargain. Having recently implemented a wildly unpopular new form of digital rights management for its PC titles, over the last few days Ubisoft released two key games for the platform, Assassin’s Creed II and Silent Hunter V.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Thing is, over the weekend, Ubisoft’s DRM servers went down. And at time of posting are still down. Meaning many users had trouble installing games, saving games w69 slot ทาง เข้า and in some cases even playing those two titles. In reaction to a thread on the company’s forums, Ubisoft community managers have said “clearly the extended downtime and lengthy login issues are unacceptable”, and that the downtime is due to “exceptional yono all app demand”. As a means of rewarding 
those remaining customers loyal enough to stick with the publisher despite the outrageous demands of the DRM, it’s…hardly what you’d call a success. Especially when it only affects paying customers, with pirates bypassing the DRM yono all app enjoying the games all weekend long. [Ubisoft]
