Ubisoft's DRM Cracked — For Real This Time

Posted by Soulskill on from the see-you-next-scheme dept.

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."

    and this is why a high school level economics education is not sufficient to properly understand market forces.

    I wish I had mod points. I was thinking the exact same thing.

    I don't know about you, but my high school didn't teach an economics class. Anything high school may have taught me about economics was incidental to whatever other subject I was supposed to be learning. I didn't have an actual economics class until college (and that one was actually valuable).

    I think perhaps it would be an improvement if high school taught economics.
