Ubisoft DRM Causing More Problems

Joe Helfrich writes "Ubisoft's Settlers 7 servers have been causing problems for over a week for users worldwide, and Australian gamers are hardly able to connect at all. 'The problem reportedly strikes after the game has already confirmed an active Internet connection, and prevents the user from playing even the single-player campaign, returning the error "server not available." But they are available, because other people are logged into them and merrily playing away.' Wonder how they're going to describe this one as an attack."

Settlers 7?

I thought the series ended with Settlers 2.

"start keeping even more on server-side and it will never be breakable."

One DDoS will take care of that bullshit.

I've seen pirates pay for stuff when they couldn't get it online for free.

That's just for mundanes like you. Khyber, you see, is 'leet, sorry, 1337, and is in the scene (or possible sc3n3) and gets leet warez like the real crack that only leet people get, which really does work. He is so leet, he beat the game before it was even released. Actually, he beat it before it was even written, because he's that deep in the scene. He's definitely not making stuff up, because no one leet would ever do that.
