Ubisoft DRM Authentication Servers Go Down

[PhunkyPhazon]

This DRM is actually the gift that keeps on giving. After getting so pissed off that AC2, my most anticipated game of the year had essentially been canceled in my eyes due to this horrible idea, I get to watch it continuously backfire and give Ubi a big fat "We told you so."
I'm still mad about not being able to play it, but you know what, I've been wanting a PS3 anyways.

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

Karma, guys.
You had this coming.
Fix it, now!

 

[Ninjamedic]

The song sabotage by the beastie boys comes to mind.

 

[Aztek463]

I smell more DRM hate! And a Shamus Young rant!

Hmmm yes, I smell it too. I knew this would backfire, didn't think it would this soon though.

First the PS3, now the PC.

Now we just have to wait for every 360 in the world to stop working and the circle is complete!

...oh wait.

Ok, that was kind of flamebaitey, but damn, it made me laugh!

 

[UnusualStranger]

*rubs hands together*

Muhahahahaha!!

Do you hear that? The sound of absolute defeat? Yeah, its for you, Ubisoft.

"And really bad eggs...Drink up me hearties YO-HO!"

 

[The Rockerfly]

First the PS3, now the PC.

...oh wait.

Ohhh snap I see what you did there

OT: Ubisoft, most times with gaming companies I can see why you have done something and I usually understand so I don't call you out and insult you, I am even usually reasonable about idea's I dislike and accept the idea even if I don't like it. So you will see how much you have messed up and how much I hate your DRM system.

Ubisoft you have cocked up, you've cocked up really badly. I can honestly say I hate your DRM system more then I hate Bobby Kotick. You can shove it up your corporate arse's

Same here, but it is true

First we wait for all Wii(s?) to suddenly start exploding.

 

[Hurr Durr Derp]

Gee, I didn't see that coming...
/sarcasm

Also, I'd like to aim a big, fat "I told you so" at those who thought this DRM was no big deal. And mark my words, worse is yet to come.

 

[obisean]

In an MMO, we would be given free day(s) to make up for something like this. What can Ubisoft offer? Thats why this fails.

My Wii is going to explode!?

But... But I don't even have a child yet.

 

[PhunkyPhazon]

First we wait for all Wii(s?) to suddenly start exploding.

*snicker* Maybe I just have a dirty mind, but...

OT: Seriously, this shit is hilarious.

EDIT: Ahhhh, ninja'd ;_;

 

[Amnestic]

It's just a little bit embarassing at this point.

Meanwhile, pirates (I assume) get to play their cracked version without issue. Nice job Ubisoft, really.

 

[Abedeus]

I was going to laugh, but that would be repetitive... So I'm going to say this:

OH DEAR GOD WHAT THE BLOODY GOSH DARN HELL?!

 

[Hawgh]

*snrk* *giggle*, this is just marvelous. It's like Ubisoft is actively fighting themselves in this battle

 

[squid5580]

Ruh Roh my lawsuit sense is tingling.

 

[SavingPrincess]

Well...

that didn't take long now did it?

Just remember folks, the pirated copy is not a "complete" game, as in it's missing the DRM.

 

[atalanta]

Oh Ubi, I'm so very glad you're running into problems already. I hope you choke on your new DRM and die c:

This is a disaster that everyone saw coming, but probably didn't expect to see quite so soon.

Are you kidding? All of that information pinging back and forth to Ubi's shiny new servers? This is pretty much exactly what I was expecting.
