Ubisoft Apologizes for Server Outage With Free Game - briefly
(hx) 02:30 AM CET - Mar,26 2010 - Post a comment / read (1)
As I reported, earlier this month some players of Assassin's Creed 2 and Silent Hunter 5 were unable to play their games due to outside attacks on Ubisoft's DRM servers. Now it seems players of both games have received emails from Ubisoft offering compensation for the downtime. According to the message boards for both games, players have gotten emails apologizing for the downtime and also offering a way to get a free downloadable Ubisoft game from a pre-selected list. Some owners of Assassin's Creed 2 have gotten offers to download extra content for that game for free.
For his trouble, Igor now gets to choose between four games - Prince of Persia, Heroes Over Europe, Endwar and H.A.W.X., downloading them directly to his PC without having to bother with the draconian DRM scheme of Ubi's newer titles.

Reader włodi received a similar email, only he was offered the downloadable content previously only available in the Special Edition of the game, including the Palazzo Medeci, Santa Maria Dei Frari, and Arsenal Shipyard. It looks like special edition and normal edition purchasers might be getting two different apologies.
