Ubisoft's Authentication Servers Go Down

Posted by kdawson on Sunday March 7, 2010 @12:23PM from the single-point-of-well-you-know dept.

ZuchinniOne writes "With Ubisoft's fantastically awful new DRM you must be online and logged in to their servers to play the games you buy. Not only was this DRM broken the very first day it was released, but now their authentication servers have failed so absolutely that no-one who legally bought their games can play them. 'At around 8am GMT, people began to complain in the Assassin's Creed 2 forum that they couldn't access the Ubisoft servers and were unable to play their games.' One can only hope that this utter failure will help to stem the tide of bad DRM."

Eighty years ago the French engineers built a wall to protect France from Germans. The Germans walked around it and invaded the country.
Ten years ago the French engineers built a nuclear aircraft carrier that was too short to allow planes to land on it. It was also exposing the crew to radiation.
Now they designed a network-based DRM, which was cracked almost immediately, until (surprise!) the servers went down in flame.
Bunch of buffoons.
And 123 years they built the Eiffel Tower.
Bush is gone, the French are no longer the enemy. Give it up.
