Quote:Ubisoft DRM authentification server is down, Assassin's Creed 2 unplayable

Earlier today, our tips inbox and the official Assassin's Creed 2 forum were set ablaze by incensed owners of the PC version of the aforementioned Italian revenge epic. According to numerous reports from prospective players of the game, Ubisoft's DRM authentification servers have crashed, forcing some players to suffer lengthy login periods when booting up Assassin's Creed 2, and locking some folks out of the game entirely.

A Ubisoft representative responded to a particularly rage-filled forum thread, stating "clearly the extended downtime and lengthy login issues are unacceptable, particularly as I've been told these servers are constantly monitored." The representative added "I'll do what I can to get more information on what the issue is here first thing tomorrow and push for a resolution and assurance this won't happen in the future." Wee've got a really great suggestion for how to make such an assurance: Find a less abominable DRM policy.

Quote:Ubisoft’s New DRM Cracked in Under 24-Hours
[Image: drm_thumb1.jpg]

Ubisoft made serious waves when they announced a new DRM policy for all new PC titles, beginning with Silent Hunter 5 and Assassin’s Creed 2. The new scheme UbiSoft hoped would thwart piracy requires all legitimate users to have a permanent Internet connection that continuously authenticates a copy of the game. Additionally, save game files are now stored on UbiSoft servers. This new system has angered long-time fans who are rightfully pissed off that this new procedure will undermine the integrity of their game, i.e., lose Internet connection and you can’t play the game, or Ubisoft servers take a hike and you’re left holding your pocky.

Well, Ubisoft’s master plan has collapsed in under 24-hours, as infamous cracker group Skid-Row has tackled the new DRM and rendered it useless, meaning the only people now suffering with this ridiculous DRM are legitimate owners.

skid-row is def badass. Just give up. There will always be cracking, especially in single player games. Fewer hurdles to jump. Longest I saw a singleplayer game go uncracked was the new Chronicle of Riddick game, Assault on Athena. And even that got cracked. Either way, it's gonna happen.
So in the end pirates get to play more?
Serves them right!^^

I would never buy a game with a stupid DRM system like that, even if it was $5.

Whoever thought of that should have their nuts chopped off, ground into mincemeat and fed back to them....its beyond retarded
