Ubisoft’s DRM authentication has been the subject of much debate lately, and now one of its potential issues has reared its ugly head in a big way. Early Saturday morning, Assassin’s Creed 2 players found themselves unable to connect, and as of yesterday afternoon, the issue had yet to be fixed. The DRM requires PC gamers to be connected to the Ubisoft servers at all times while playing.
When complaints began to surface on the game’s official forums, a rather confused rep had only this to say. “I don’t have any clear information on what the issue is … but clearly the extended downtime and lengthy login issues are unacceptable, particularly as I’ve been told these servers are constantly monitored. I’ll do what I can to get more information on what the issue is here first thing tomorrow and push for a resolution and assurance this won’t happen in the future.”

1. Whosoever bought Ubi’s games – deserves this.
2. Ubi deserves to die for this.
Clarification: “die” as in “go bankrupt.” Please don’t go stabbing a Ubi executive and then claiming I told you to do it.
#FAIL !!!!
Incredible.
I totally 2nd Alaric’s comments. I like a lot of Ubisoft’s games, but punishing legitimate users (who are the only ones affected by measures like these) is just not right. In this economy, there are plenty of other products you can vote your money on…
Karma… karma…
This kind of DRM was eventually going to be tried. All we can hope is that it fails completely so other publishers will never try it again (lol. or not try it for a while). If they get enough crap over it, they will patch out this form of DRM on the current games (hopefully). I wish publishers would take a note out of the Stardock book on DRM (that it is useless and only causes problems for legit users).
still waiting…
more than two hours
i will never buy anything from Ubisoft anymore with DRM
Way to go Ubisoft! That’s the way to encourage piracy!
Now, can you issue that patch already?
