Ubisoft: our DRM "is a success"
Found on PC Gamer on Thursday, 28 July 2011
We recently reported on how Driver: San Francisco will require a constant internet connection to play.
Ubisoft have traditionally been the developer with some of the harshest DRM in the industry. In the games that use their always online "connected services", players can no longer to play if no internet connection is detected.
Sadly, legitimate players often take the brunt of such security measures. Intermittent internet connections and server issues at Ubisoft's end can stop PC Gamers from playing the game entirely.
I wonder how long it will take until those evil pirates release a DRM free version of the game, enhancing the value of the product for the filesharers and making it more attractive than the paid for version.
