hope they sort these problems out before splinter cell conviction
UbiSoft servers down today = No single player gaming

nope.
WOW
Terrible service.
All the BS they spouted before launch too.
E.A to their credit have worked well to get rid of their bad reputation as of late what with removing the 1 year download limit from the EADM Store and not using the Spore DRM on new games although with Activision and Ubisoft, anyone can look good.

Yes, they are working, I just played the game.
And I had no problem whatsoever playing yesterday either. In fact, I have not once been disconected from the game.
Sensationalism.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! *breathes*
Sucks for all the people who have been raped of the ability to play games they purchased but... LOL! The fact it has failed so soon after the thread of awesome the other day is great.
This system was never going to work. Another example of a game where the pirate copy will work better than the real one? Well done Ubisoft, you deserve much kudos for this.

Not everyone who buys games scour the internet for every detail. Many wouldn't have been aware of the new DRM.
You didn't need the disk for Oblivion did you? I never remember needing it.
i feel sorry for those who didn't know about uberfails bs drm before buying, but those who knew about it saying they had no problem and the rest of us are pirates because we don't accept it....well erm take a guess what i'm thinking.

Have to admit I did buy Silent Hunter V despite the DRM. It's a tricky dilemma - do I refuse to puchase the game and affect the sales figures for a game that is in a declining genre and help to maybe kill of that genre for good? This is why I also bought Rise of Flight which has same drm because flight sim developers need support and encouragement to continue creating simulation products. The developers probably don't have much input into what the idiot publishers do with drm

Better you pirate the game and donate the money to the developers directly. That way you get a fully working game and the devs get all the money themselves!
That said, personally I still buy my games but I'm having doubts about continuing.
"95 per cent of players were not affected, but a small group of players attempting to open a game session did receive denial of service errors,"

So apparently only 5% of people were affected by this DDOS attack as they claim now.
I smell BS in this.

How can they tell who were not able to connect? By definition they couldn't connect so UBI can't count the numbers.

I wish you could pay the developers directly, this would be loads better. Would it be possible for them to have a website and simply download their game? Then make a donation or something, maybe with feedback
This way developers could continue their work and everything would be good
I agree, and i have said it before loads of times.
What right in gods green earth does the seller of a product have to something which they have just ****** sold to you.
What right do they have to say "ohh no m8 youve bought the right to play the game only (haha) but nah you cant sell it we still own it."
Sheer madness... *shakes head*
Its beyond words....well words i can use on this forum......
They wouldn't make anywhere near as much money (nor enough to actually continue making games).
It's basically the difference between the indie band selling their music from their car boot and website to a major pop band with a record label.
The pop band may be manufactured crap but they will sell millions more than the little band.
Steam or impulse is your best bet for that.
pretty much anyone can get a game published on those 2.
