"Ubifail" is starting to sound more appropriate.

Ubisoft DRM Causing More Problems

I'm starting to wonder if I should keep a list of what games are using this online DRM shit, although it's far too easy to just say to hell with all of it. This time it's Settlers 7.

Want to know what the next gen consoles are probably going to require? :P

Sadly, I can see it happening.

Oh, and in response to your observation about how later consoles will probably require more and more strict DRM, I will copy/paste this comment (which was in response to a previous comment saying that unless the DRM is expanded to consoles, then Ubisoft's sales probably won't be affected).

"Well, just to throw a spanner in your works.

I have a console, and a PC (obviously). I game on both... I have pirated games on both. It was actually easier to copy ACII on console than PC.

Your move..."

This is exactly the kind of smug asswipe that I'm talking about as being the core problem, overall.

So, yeah, I can totally see the next gen of consoles being far more restrictive as far as DRM goes. And I can totally see that DRM being cracked and the dedicated pirating resumed with a short period of time and the whole damn thing starting all over again.
