Ubisoft and DRM

  • DRM and UBISOFT


    To tell you the truth - I have decided not to buy some Ubisoft games solely based on the negative comments I have read about its DRM - not about the game.


    The one time I forgot about my self-imposed embargo, I purchased a game called "From Dust" which reminded some people of the famous Populous -


    I regretted that decision straight away as I had many problems getting the game running and then resented the fact that I had to create another account (with Ubisoft or whoever developed the game) to run the game at all.


    Well Ubisoft have done a major U-turn and decided to stop having the requirement to be constantly online when playing their games, hip-hip hooray.


    No doubt they will see a little increase in sales after this as I will certainly look through their games catalogue and purchase some games I had previously decided not to buy.
