Where are the DRM fanboys this AM ?
 
Just curious.. since this is, what, now 2 or more times in as many weeks that you are unable to play "your" game?

Actually, it's not "your" game. It's a license to play "their" game really.


You don't own the software, but the software owns you! :haha:

I suspect he can't contain his smugness without posting about it. :shifty:

Seriously, what's the point of it? Trying to stir things up or what? :timeout:

drtechno, yes that's a satisfying shot to give. But the only thing worse than a sore loser, is a sore winner. :03:

Just curious - why are you posting this smug and in-your-face question?

CCIP 03-16-10 12:43 PM

Just curious, why are you posting a question that you already have your own answer to?

Dowly 03-16-10 12:44 PM

Ok, I play too.

Just curious, why are you posting this question? :hmmm:

True. I do like it when fanboys suffer at the very hands of the thing they are defending. I'll be quiet now and go back into my SH4 hole :)

Please stop it with the name calling now. Please also stop trolling.

If you can't live by the rules here then I would ask that you post somewhere else.

Thanks

I imagine he’s rather annoyed that his licence to play there game has been revoked due to unforeseen circumstances or otherwise know as a ball up.



Thats if he bought the game......



Or he posted as he rightly guessed that this would happen with this system in place. Is it justified smugness who can tell.

This "fanboy" is playing his game (well, modding actually), with it working fine and all. :O:

drtechno 03-16-10 12:57 PM

Not playing SH5 at all (didn't buy it due to DRM). Still on SH4. Anyway, I was just replying to (from this AM)-
"I just called [Ubi] their support, there is a UK phone number listed in the manual. This is what he said..

Their servers have been down since 4pm cet, they believe there has been another hacking attempt, and they are working right now to get the servers up and running again asap. We can't do much more but wait.

I asked if a refund is possible, he said not at the moment because there is nothing wrong with their product. But hackers are trying to destroy their copy protection system, and we all become victims as a result of it.

I asked if Ubisoft will release the game without DRM, he said they don't plan on that right now but they are looking into ways to secure their servers.

Well, didn't help me much, but at least we know whats going on. "

I'll keep my comments to that thread I suppose. Just being smug in that it has happened twice in 2 weeks and tomshardware.com is reporting that the first outtage was probably not a DOS attack (as Ubi publicly stated) but rather Ubi's own server problems. I suppose people know how to use google and can find that story for themselves. As I said, I'll just be smug and quiet for now.

Arclight 03-16-10 01:02 PM

Huh, did you say something?

Had 1 big outage at AC2 release, split into 2 parts. Then 5 minutes yesterday, and 5 minutes today.

Meh.

Ringy 03-16-10 01:02 PM

I'm in the same position ATM bit of spare time and can't play the game :( This has happened several times now bit of a pain TBH.

I have my eye on another UBI game due for release soon but it's gonna have the same DRM system it's making me think if it's worth buying after shelling out 28ukp for this one that I can't play because of THEIR server issues. :damn:

Ringy.
