Schadenfreude
Ubisoft hates customerspirates. I mean really hates pirates. They hate pirates so much that they are willing to assume that all of their customers are also pirates in order to protect their intellectual property. Ubisoft, in its infinite pirate-hating wisdom, concocted a digital rights management scheme that required anyone who purchased their new PC games to be constantly connected to the internet in order to play, even for single-player only games.
Ubisoft said it was pirate-proof. They were wrong. The DRM was cracked in under 24 hours. That’s not the funny part.
The funny part is that the DRM servers that Ubisoft’s customers need to call in order to play their games have been down all day. If you bought into their fuck-the-customer DRM, you can’t play the single-player game that you paid $60 for, but the folks who stole the game, who didn’t pay one red cent, can.
The moral of the story is: don’t buy Ubisoft games.
