Forums - Gaming - Ubisoft: Our DRM is here to stay will "evolve, improve"

Lastgengamer on 10 April 2010

Ubisoft's told Eurogamer that its "online services platform" for PC games will "evolve and improve" and is most certainly here to stay.

"Most forthcoming Ubisoft PC titles will use our online services platform," a spokesperson explained, adding, "As with any online technology, we are constantly working to evolve and improve it."

Ubisoft's online platform requires PC gamers to be connected to the internet while they play. But problems arise when authentication servers are unavailable or unresponsive. This was felt first with Assassin's Creed II and Silent Hunter V and then more recently with Settlers 7.

The result has been fans unable to play games they've purchased, sometimes for days at a time.

Upcoming Ubisoft PC titles include Splinter Cell Conviction, Pure Football, R.U.S.E., I Am Alive TrackMania 2, Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands and Ghost Recon Future Soldier.

I guess this is something we will have to live with all because of piracy.

and again it's bullshit. Pirates will not be derailed, and normal people will suffer.

Then I guess that means no more Ubisoft games for me.

Well, maybe they will. So far I am unable to pirate Assassin's Creed II and it's been a month already since it was released.

I know I'm in the minority, but if a proper crack doesn't come out soon I will buy the game.

There is a server emulator available now that is meant to allow 100% completion of the game

I haven't tried it, but reports say it works perfectly, check Rlslog

Didn't it take over a month for Assassins Creed 2 to get patched?



Tease.

I would be more of a modern pc gamer if there were less drm issues. I do not pirate software, and believe in paying for the games I play. I also believe strongly that when I purchase something it is mine to use. I don't want to be forced online for single player, or have x amount of installs for a lifetime. The publishers are free to protect their software as they see fit, but I am free to find other forms of entertainment.
