Ubisoft's DRM Cracked — For Real This Time

therufus writes "A few days after the release of Assassin's Creed 2, naughty piracy sites were announcing they had cracked Ubisoft's Online Services Platform. Turns out, that wasn't entirely true. While it was possible to load into the game, players were unable to advance past a certain memory block. But now, it seems Ubisoft will need to draft a new response. A new crack has begun circulating that removes the DRM entirely."

    Well, since paying customers weigh the same as ducks, they are all witches and deserve to be burned at the stake, obviously.

    Once again Science and Justice rule the day!

    We all are, but evil pirates keep their money in their pockets instead of spending it, and that added weight allows them to escape detection.

    I wish I had money to buy a decent PC, so I could say I've skipped AC2 because of DRM...
