That is as warped as it gets.

Jeez... Neal must be a very patient man...

Hopefully some people will see prison time for this kind of stuff.

I doubt it. It's hard to get prosecutions against big companies like Ubisoft.
...oh, wait, you mean...

If those guys would be smart enough to see that the long term damage is to their own disadvantage. But some people never learn from history, even if it repeats itself every year (like the DRM/cracking race).

I would have liked them to ignore SHV entirely, not even cracking it. Then the sales would have told us a little about (casual and old) customers' tolerance of OSP/DRM and the importance of product state for their buying decision. It simply is just totally nuts what they are doing now. I wonder whether they all went to school in Rhode Island.

But then Ubistank will have to close their doors and SH series will die....oh wait... you mean the hackers

server do not have to answer a ping request and do the other activities well. If this was unprotected then it's a quite a lesson for ubi. But why should we suffer because of that? I'm wainting for offline mod.

That would be nice. What jollies does someone get from attacking a server or making a virus. It is a damn inconvience and sometimes a monetary inconvience when you need to buy a program to get rid of a virus. I'm cleaning up my girls computer of a virus. It is damn frustrating. Hopefully UBI will throw in the towel on the next patch and be done with this DRM.

If we are gonna dream...dream big I say.

I would think Starforce would have taught Ubistank a lesson.... yet they now implement something 100X worse...didnt think that was possible.
