Actually you can play the game. Is it fully cracked? Not yet, but you can play AC 2 if you have torrented it. Hell Command and Conquer 4 has likewise DRM and its been cracked already as well.

I can personally say that its cracked because i bought the game then used the damn crack because my internet is shite where i live (rural Australia). Which is exactly what i use all my cracks for, playing games without their cd's or if they require some stupid activation/online check.
*edit* I don't actually pirate i use "things" to circumvent the necessity of my almost dead DVD drive needing to take hours (exaggeration)to load a single disc. But in all seriousness i paid ubisoft good hard aussie dollars and so they can get F****d if they think i'm gonna let them tell me when i can play the game I paid for.

EA got the message about SecuROM when it got a 1.5 star rating from Amazon. People were warned away from buying the game through that channel.
Ubisoft has a similar problem---83 ratings on Amazon. 76 are one star out of five. Anyone who might buy it on Amazon can see the reviews, and they'll be deterred from buying the game.
Nice job, idiots. I wonder how many sales they're going to lose. This is going to cost them millions.

Are you sure about that? [http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Assassins+Creed+2+Crack] (I do not support downloading pirated games in any way. Even if Ubisoft deserves nothing less.)Thoric485 said:
If I remember correctly, the game was in fact cracked on THE FIRST DAY.
Ubisoft are morons. Not only did they make the most intrusive DRM system ever, it didn't even work properly. Not to mention people who didn't know about the DRM got blind-sided by it when they couldn't play it.
As a recent Stolen Pixels comic put it, Daikatana is no longer the biggest joke of the gaming world.
It's like a giant face-palm, I have to constantly wear.MGlBlaze said:
All the cracks that exist on the interwebs right now, are reported to be faulty, or downright malware.
Google all you want, but Trojan.exe, can easily be renamed to AC2.exe
...and sure you can download the game via torrents, but you'll still need a serial key to connect to the Ubisoft servers...
...I honestly don't think there's been a better DRM (that is at stopping pirates) so far. (Except maybe Bioshocks one... I heard that lasted a week or so) ((oh and aside from Steam... which took a while get around))
I realise that so many people are against this DRM that they really want to believe that it doesn't work. I want it not to work. Why the hell do I have to be connected while playing a sp game... if I have a lag spike, will it kill my game, or will I lose my saves.
It's punishing the people who buy, but also the pirates, since they can't play AC2 without paying for it (either with money, or a bugged game)
You know that the first assassins creed did something similar, a version leaked to the pirate networks before the game released, and it had a bug that made the game crash at Jerusalem.
It really messed pirates up - because versions that works partially, were simply "works", and the only way to tell what to get to a certain part of the game.
Of course no one knows if it was leaked on purpose or by accident. I feel that something similar might be going on here.

On a side note; try googling a game that hasn't yet been released but is due to with the word crack. You'll be surprised how many people want to install malware on your PC.
I buy games, not licenses (bar MMO's). The only way to get me to play an uncracked version of AC2 would be if someone gave it to me.Sneaklemming said:
In any case, their scheme is pointless. It is not worth the price. Of course it's taking the pirates some time to crack AC2, it's a completely new scheme, but it will be cracked and seeded on public torrent trackers in due time, and it won't take the pirates any time at all to crack any subsequent games that use the same DRM scheme.
Tl;dr: Ubisoft has just bought AC2 a shred of uncracked time at the expense of turning their single-player game into a licensed product, which will inevitably become cracked no matter what they do.

DRM annoys the people who where going to pay for it more then making people who would not pay for it to pay for it. SOASE you could download for free legally but 1 million people still payed for it. 40 dollers is alot of money for people and they like to know what what they about to spend there cash on will be somthing they like, so somtimes letting people try the game first can be a advantage.
There has been studies showing the biggist buyers of music are the piraters, and yet the music industery is hell bent on sueing them all. This will only shoot themselfs in the foot, and this is what DRM is doing.

Excluding multiplayer games I'd imagine. Although I'm not entirely sure, 254 days is a long time.Dexter111 said:
