Settlers 7 server

I'm assuming the servers are down for all. Does anybody have an info? I've been able to find nothing. This sort of DRM is a disgrace! Surely this is a breach of contract or something by Ubi?

It drives me mental thinking how they've taken my hard earned money and I'm obviously already found guilty of being a pirate regardless of my working activation key.

I'm with you on the sackings! DRM of this sort will bring the industry to its knees long before piracy.

Shamikebab has obviously never heard of the trade descriptions act. Look it up. That can be the new thing you learned today.

I have heard of it thank you very much, I'm just wondering how exactly you could sue them over it. I mean you couldn't sue Microsoft if Xbox Live was down for a day could you?

As in, for any reason when I can't play the game while meeting all criteria. If it was scheduled downtime, fair enough, but unless they can reliably provide the service I have already paid for then the product is quite obviously not fit for purpose.

Any other argument would be null and void at that point. Either the "anti-piracy" system works or it doesn't, by law there should be no grey area.

Edit: By the way, it wasn't me that said about sueing them. I merely pointed out that I see it as a blatant breach of the trade descriptions act.
