CloseRemember how UbiSoft has DRM that requires constant access to their servers to play the game? Even with single player? Well it looks like those servers won't be online at all starting next week while UbiSoft moves them! Games that you spent hard earned cash on are now literally unplayable! I'm sure UbiSoft wants to blame pirates. Hey UbiSoft, fuck you. There is no ETA when you'll be able to play these games again.
The games are:
PC: Tom Clancy's HAWX 2, Might & Magic: Heroes 6 & The Settlers 7
Mac: Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell Conviction & The Settlers
Both: Multiplayer of serveral games

Feel free to post any sort of fuck yous to UbiSoft any way you choose, including image macros. The usual rules don't apply in this thread.

I haven't bought an ubisoft game in a long time. Precisely because of this DRM scheme. And yeah, that means any ubisoft game not just the ones with DRM.
Also Anno 2070

(though that was slightly changed later. Into the regular limited activations. WHICH HONESTLY IS JUST AS BAD)
Fuck Ubisoft man. Fuck them in the ass.

I've already decided I'm not buying Ubisoft PC games anymore. I have been burned too many times by their online service.
What? No Heroes 6 without being on-line? Even for single player? Which is the only mode I'd ever actually use? Well, that's dumb. That was on my want list!
"Was" being the operative term.

"Oh, let's fight piracy by making our releases unplayable, therefore actually encouraging piracy"
Wait, what?
.....
Anyways, Ubisoft won't be seeing any money from me either, these sorts of DRM only hurt the actual paying players, pirates always find a way to play the games, usually without any of the trouble that the paying players have to go through.

Last ubisoft game I bought was Assassin's Creed on PS3. Not likely going to buy another one anyway, so who cares?
I enjoy the AC games, but I only ever buy console based. I don't really use my PC for gaming at all, but this is a big fat shot in the foot for gamers- and more encouragement for piracy.
As long as I can still play AC offline on my PS3, they can shoot themselves in the foot as much as they like. I don’t play any of their other games anyway.
It’s a real kick in the crotch for those who do though. Napoleon had more sense in him when he invaded Russia (Napoleon failed miserably in Russia).
