He has therefore spent $49 on a game that he can't play. He can't get his money back on the game, because nobody offers a refund for computer software/video games, and he can't change his availability in order to try and access the servers at a different time.
In the pre DRM era he would have had no problem, but now he has a $49 coaster and no access to a game he wants to play.
Does he have a legal claim against Ubisoft? I wonder what kind of disclaimer will be written in the mice type on the box?

How would the server only be available on Saturdays and Sundays?
