Australia has a small population which accounts for less than 1% of the video game industry sales. It should not matter much to Ubisoft at all.

+1 Funny. Now what point were you trying to make?

Australian video game market does not matter to Ubisoft. The costs involved in improving its network for a few Aussie gamers is not cost effective. ok the Aussie gamers may boycott Ubisoft. Not a big loss. Think of the big picture.

Internet connections in Australia are terribly slow and laggy and they pay a premium for broadband in Australia. The location of where Australia is situated does not help much in regards to its internet networks. The Australian government has not updated its telecommunications industry in a long time and that adversely impacts upon internet broadband networks.

Yes, please, think of the big picture. Ubisoft has gained nothing. It has become the laughingstock of the internet. It has been DDoSed, and it hasn't even worked. Paying customers have been screwed over and over and pirates are just laughing their asses off.

I believe just about everybody called this, all the way down to the dynamic DoS attack and Ubisoft are just plain idiots for not listening.

The amount of pissed off *buyers* on Ubi's forums would suggest you are correct. I feel sorry to the poor people who bought this off Steam and didn't realize that it had an extra layer of fuckyouintheass-DRM. Of course as I said earlier the cynic in me is thrilled to see Ubi get sprayed in the face by the hailstorm of pissed off customers.
