Ubisoft Working On a New Anti-Piracy Tool

Posted by Soulskill on Monday July 27, 2009 @10:30PM from the surely-to-be-welcomed-with-open-arms dept.

Ubisoft recently revealed that their game sales have seen a 50% drop over the past quarter, blaming the overall market slowdown and piracy (particularly on the DS) for the low numbers. They also announced that four of their games, including Splinter Cell: Conviction and Red Steel 2, would be delayed until 2010. The company's CEO, Yves Guillemot, now says they are working on a new anti-piracy tool that should be ready by the end of 2009. He didn't offer any details about how it would be implemented.
