Morons. I've said for ages Ubisoft are one of the worst publishers around, especially when it comes to PC gaming. Unfortunately EA, one of the better PC publishers out there, seems to take all the flak.

So those customers who paid for the game are the ones who are suffering with this issue. It does not inspire confidence in their DRM implementation.

Imagine if similar DRM was applied to your operating system. Its one thing being unable to play a game but imagine if you could not use your computer at all.

Maybe it's a way to detect pirates since they're the only ones who can play.

This is interesting. I am at uni where they block most games connecting to the internet straight off. It wasn't working earlier so perhaps it is this rather than Brunel richarding around.
