Ubisoft Deploys DRM Again; Hates Humanity

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Hardly a surprise, most people are spineless cretins with big mouths. After the laugh that was the MW2 boycott its no surprise devs don't pay any attention to people claiming they won't buy a game.

Still haven't bought MW2.
Actually want to for a single player playthrough but... It just won't happen.

I really ought to stop defending Anno 1404 - I forget that they took it off steam and I cant get it updated to the latest patch / version.

Ok, Ubi are pure suckage now

By principal alone if I get such a game I will just buy it if it's good then await for Razor1911 & crew to sort it out via download.

Ubisoft has slightly changed the DRM to just needing it once every time you start the game.

So Steam then?

Give me Ubi over E.A any day.

Ubi seem to be trying new IP's recently and supporting good games and to be honest, I dont have a problem them.

Infact, over the last several months I think they have done a lot to improve their standing.

Dare I say, I like Ubi.

So Steam then?

Not quite, Steam only requires you to activate online once then you can set Steam to offline and play as much as you want, Driver will require you to be online every time you start the game.

Well after picking up AC2 and SC Conviction in the Steam sales I can say that's probably the last Ubisoft games I'll ever buy.

Both are poorly coded console ports and that's a better reason not to buy their games in my opinion.

AC2 worked fine for me? Maybe its your computer??
