Ubisoft fails. AC2 already leaked and cracked.

It was leaked on p2p sites and within 2 hours a crack was made. Great deal of help their crippiling drm system did. now only the legit customers have to suffer because of ubisofts poorly considered plan. I dont condone piracy but anyone could have told them that going overboard on this drm scheme would end very badly.

I thought you need to be Online. I bet it's very buggy and crashes a lot.

Excellent news. Now i just have to wait for Ubi to cave and remove it from AC2 and future games.

[QUOTE="Exile91"][QUOTE="ferret-gamer"] people cracked it so you dont have to be online.110million

the games that have securom and activation are just as easy to crack as just a simple disk check.

It's almost like Ubisoft doesn't want the PC version to sell.

All this piracy is ruining gaming.

Ubisoft would not put in DRM in the first place if PC gamers never pirated games.

It is worrying if AC 2 gets pirated then Ubisoft and other companies would more likely stop supporting the PC. Dont be stupid, just buy the game.

It wasn't cracked.

I just hope Ubisoft don't decide to cancel any PC version of AC3 based on piracy. Even though the piracy will be their own fault it will give them the PERFECT excuse not to make PC versions any more.

Maybe this is their plan all along.

I don't believe it. Ubisoft spent millions on this DRM system and it's cracked already.

It's just a CLONEDVD, an image of a disk. It's not cracked:)

And who's that in your sig? I was staring at her earlier today O_o

I don't agree with some of these DRMs but I'm wondering how they're planning to solve this. Piracy is seriously growing out of control.

Sooner or later the software companies are going to sue Intel, AMD, nVidia for not even attempting to counter this since they benefit from it. If you don't have to consider the costs of games you're more willing to spend some more on more expensive hardware.

You can never counter piracy, protection software websites say the same thing. All it has to do is make it very time-consuming or present a large enough difficulty so the cracked version comes out way too late or simply isn't as accessible as it is now to the casuals. I wonder if they can't ask Sony for some help. Sony and Crypkey. Hmmm.

Looking at the best selling PC games, every single one (basically for a while down the list) is a pretty old game. PC sales are dying.

Don't worry, I'll take this from your shoulders. That's what a friend would do, right? Anyway, I'm off to the woman of my dreams, let's just hope she doesn't complain too much.

Ashley Cole isn't much a looker anyways, so i'm sure we all have a chance. Geordies are easy enough.

I don't know mate, she looks mighty fine to me :D

And why are you using her in your sig if shes not a looker? Don't tell me you like the X factor or something :D

So.....UBI fails because PC hardcores who don't actually buy games but pirate them cracked the game so they can pirate it?
