Ubisoft must realize that they just sent the whole African market down the drain! I am a South African and most of us don’t have a fast permanent internet connection. This means we can’t even play the single player campaigns. They lost me and many other customers due their shortsightedness and not thinking of third world countries. They screwed us and now we will never buy their games!!!

AC 2 is not ‘only’ for pc version . So, I guess ubi wanted to give a trial of their DRM system in the pc version.

Ok well having read about Ubisoft’s new anti-pirating strategy from multiple sources i am disgusted that the company will be punishing honest gamers for the hundreds of thousands of pirated copies of AC1. I buy all my games from steam or CDWOW and am happy to support quality games and their respective producers.

But in light of these measures from Ubisoft??? …It pains me to admit but deep down i am actually hoping that the pirates crack AC2 to hell and back even more so than AC1 so that Ubisoft and every other game producer out there gets the message.

I have cancelled my pre-order for AC2 and have bought Mass effect 2 instead. As for Ubisoft, i was a fan but no longer and will not be purchasing their games while this DRM system is in place.

I will never, ever under any circumstance buy any kind of software whatsoever that employs these type of over extended controls of my legally purchased property regardless of the company or title. And I was a fan of Ubisoft for quite some time.

That’s too bad… I guess I won’t be buying Assasins’s Creed II for PC because my net connection sucks…

The problem is, even if people _do_ buy their games, they will probably still download a cracked copy anyway, which offer basic functionality (the ability to play offline). That means more people hosting the relevant bittorrent files. So Ubisoft are encouraging legitimate customers to act as uploaders.

They thought that piracy was bad for sales, wait until they get the whiff of failure from all the people that refuse to buy UBI games due to this insane DRM.

They are committing the business suicide themselves and it’s quite obvious that when you combine the people that WILL pirate these games, AND the people that will now, NOT buy their games, it will become quite obvious to their bean counters that PC gaming is just dead and that they had no hand in killing PC Gaming. Pfffft, UBISoft is digging their own grave.

There’s no need to buy this game. Or pirate it. There’s plenty of games out there, and plenty of developers who are more deserving of our support. Buy it, and it will prove to Ubisoft that they get away with their scheme. Pirate it, and they’ll point out that this proves even more that they need such a scheme in the first place.
P.

Ubi knows what they’re doing. I mean…if it was just AC2 I could easily boycott the game, the problem is that they’re also releasing Anno: Venice, Settlrs7 and Silent Hunter 5 around the same time. I used to think it was Ubisoft going nuts, releasing bassicaly their whole damn 2010 PC line-up in span of three weeks), but I’m guessing they just want to force this through.
As much as I hate this DRM system…missing out on Venice, Settlers and Sh5 would just be too much
