Ubisoft drops its intrusive always on internet DRM - briefly
(hx) 12:21 AM CEST - Sep,06 2012 - Post a comment / read (8)
Ubisoft will stop using its always-on DRM scheme that required an internet connection to play their PC games!
RPS: But last year it was said that the so-called "always-on" DRM had shown a clear reduction in piracy. The quote was, "A clear reduction in piracy from our titles, which required a persistent online connection, and from that point of view the requirement is a success." Have you any data to evidence this, and if so, are you going to publish it?

Perotti: I'm not going to comment on data. That was an unfortunate comment. We have listened to feedback, and since June last year our policy for all of PC games is that we only require a one-time online activation when you first install the game, and from then you are free to play the game offline.

RPS: Thats excellent news. So do you have any regrets about the always-on DRM that you had been using?

Perotti: We've listened to feedback, we will continue to listen to feedback, we will continue to make sure that we deliver great games and great services, and are now operating under this policy.

Ah, how i hate this type of corporate talk. Fakin morons!
In other word, read the above like this: "We started getting a lot of shit from our customers, people started to pirate even more so we had to back off a little until people come down and we get a new DRM to try fuck them up again."

I think their main reason now is : ....said that the so-called "always-on" DRM had shown a clear reduction in sales.

I didn't realize you could put a stick THAT deeply up your ass. Congratulations, Ubisoft.

I guess they woke up.
Patch it out, put it on GOG and I willl surely be buying it; there are a few titles I am interested in.

The link on the web page appears to be broken.
Please fix it and remove this comment.
Thank you!

Another UbiFail... When will they learn? And now, with the new P.O.S. they released, I Am Alive, things are getting really smelly over there. I don't think I'll own a Ubi game for a decent amount of time...

Good news, but I don't know who is more irritating: the Ubi corporate drone, or the egocentric sponge brains at RPS. I detest that website.
