FAIL!!!! so now everyone will be pirating their games. I say fuck them I u have a pc boycott their shit for screwing y'all up

It seems whenever they bring out new or updated DRM something very quickly happens that reinforces our criticisms of it.
Not as quickly as it takes to crack the DRM. Maybe the crakers should simply hold of releaseing the bypass until the inevitable does happen simply to stick it to the publishers that little bit more.

The business model of PC gaming has morphed into something that is aggressively anti-consumer. Even Valve and Stardock, the supposed "good guys" support initatives that pretty much destroy the concept of "owning games" on the PC gaming front (no resales in DD). Soon, console gamers are going to know what this is like. You like selling games, buying preowned games or renting games? Enjoy that while you can folks. Because those days are going to be a relic of the past soon. Technically you can buy used PC-DVD games but they are practically worthless without an unused serial key these days (since online authorization is all the rage these days) or a crack (what a great way to fight piracy...).

Ubi has successfully performed the biggest PR faux paux yet...

There's a post on slashdot which mentioned rumors of plans of a coordinated DDoS attack by black hats.  I wonder if the downtime is caused by that allegedly planned attack...

While I wouldn't condone an attack on Ubisoft's servers, I wouldn't absolve Ubisoft from this either.

No worries, 99% of the owners have the pirate version!

Yeah, nobody saw this coming.

Ubisoft made the 2008 Prince of Persia DRM-free. Why have they decided to dip back into the extreme DRM-all-the-way end all of a sudden?

There is a rather obvious, if rather unpleasant answer to this question. I can think of no other explanation other than the obvious either. Obviously this experiment in ridiculous DRM is not going to be as prevalent going forward.
