Ubisoft definitely on illegal narcotics: Our DRM servers failed because everyone loves them so much…
That old saying “what kool aid are you drinking” couldn’t be any more perfect in the situation involving Ubisoft and their new “always on” DRM. We’ve already ranted about it several times before for it’s awful implementaion and methodology. Yesterday we found out just how much it sucks when a game that requires a live connection to a remote server has said server go down…for hours on end. Common sense would have the company admitting they screwed up and at the very least apologizing for shoddy maintenance and upkeep on their servers. Silly human.
Ubisoft instead has come out blindly swinging, stating that beacause of “extreme demand and popularity” their frail little servers just couldn’t dish out the 1′s and 0′s fast enough. *puke* I for one hope those of you out there who actually care about this stuff aren’t fooled by their blatent lies. The real reason for the Ubisoft outage — DOS attack from some not so happy gamers.
Is it the best solution to protesting DRM? No. But anything that hurts Ubisoft at this point is fine by me. Will they listen or are we going to have to boycott any and every piece of junk they lace with digital cancer?
