17Feb Ubisoft DRM: How not to treat your customers
RPS pretty much says what needs to be said:
Perhaps the biggest, most frustrating flaw a game can have is when it doesn’t allow you to actually play it. Regardless of the price, I would never purchase a game using Ubisoft’s amazingly draconian new DRM scheme (lose your internet connection, get booted out of the game and lose your current progress). If you’re looking to buy an Ubisoft game, for any platform, I would encourage you to think about whether you want to be supporting a company that has such contempt for the paying customers that keep it in business.

I agree – no game could be awesome enough to support this new “protection” (what are they “protecting” anyway? Resales? Because the games still get cracked and uploaded).
It’s a product I’m not interested in and it’s great to have a huge amount of games to choose from. No need to buy bad quality. :)
I feel pity for the devs though.
