"New! Type IX upgrade available for only $14.99"
"New! Elite crew package w/ upgraded optics only $9.99"
"New! 6 new Merchant ships w/special FX only $14.99"
"New! Camo pack for type VII and IX only $9.99"


Hey, you got a Type VII for only $50, you ingrate.

I would totally accept a patch as compensation, I'd almost pay for one at this point.

So, will those of you who were adamant that the blame for the server outages should lay exclusively at the feet of the hackers (at least one has posted in this thread) be saying "no" to the compensation that Ubisoft is offering? Or will you show your hypocrisy by grabbing Ubisoft's bone with outreached hands? Afterall, Ubisoft is not at fault, right? So wouldn't accepting compensation from them mean that you'd be benefiting off the actions of the hackers, that you so much despise? Surely you wouldn't want to do that, would you? :hmmm:

Just sayin'.

I really don't see what sort of compensation they could feasibly offer, it almost certainly will not be a refund of any kind. Perhaps Uplay points?

Just thinking here but if the server outage was indeed a hacker attack and you give out some kind of worth while compensation package just think what the next DDoS attack will be.?????

Attack the servers and get free stuff. :up:

Just a though

A DRM free version of the game perhaps?

If it was a copy that would work on my Vista 64bit machine I'd take it in a heartbeat lol

Any copy with out the starforce DRM will work in Vista 64 and win7 64.
That's almost every copy for sale these days.

That means that we have to pay for downloads thereafter? :wah:

I've tried every workaround, every tip and bit of info I could find and nothing would let me run SH3 on my machine. One day I plan on trying again but after spending three days of non-stop to try the last time I haven't built up the motivation again lol.

Not sure if you are refering to me or not but the answer is two part...

1) (Again, if you are addressing me) I never said that "the blame for the server outages should lay exclusively at the feet of the hackers", so kindly stop putting words in my mouth. In fact if you actually read what I had posted, instead of jumping on the bandwagon, you would see otherwise.

2) It will depend entirely on what it is.

However I do get a chuckle out of the hate-ubisoft-no-matter-what-crowd, because at this point it seems like they could refund everyone's money, remove the DRM and publicly execute the Chairman and this crowd would still moan that it wan't enough.
