Interview: Ubisoft On DRM, Piracy And PC Games - No more always on DRM, won't admit that it was a mistake

[JEMC]

Now that was a good interview! I'm sure the guys of Ubisoft ended all sweaty

But what really got me is this

RPS: So, with Assassin’s Creed III, and other forthcoming releases, we’re going to see a one-time activation, and there won’t be limits on that activation. Is that correct?

Perotti: It’s correct. And then you’ll be able to play offline on PC. Whenever you want to reach any online service, multiplayer, you will have to be connected, and obviously for online games you will also need to be online to play. But if you want to enjoy Assassin’s Creed III single player, you will be able to do that without being connected. And you will be able to activate the game on as many machines as you want.

All the DRM talk, all the server problems, all the PR bullsh!t and all the money invested... to end at the same point we were when it all started.
