by Brian Leahy, Mar 09, 2010 11:00am PSTThe belated PC edition of Ubisoft Monreal's Assassin's Creed II, released in Europe last week, is arriving this week in North America. Thus, a launch trailer approaches:
Due to denial of service attacks against publisher Ubisoft, a small number of players have been experiencing problems when attempting to play the game, which utilizes the company's new DRM and requires a constant Internet connection to Ubisoft's servers.

I bought, Assassin's Creed 2 for my xbox 360. Loved it.
Have a kick ass PC that would make this game look pretty awesome in comparison to the xbox 360.
With that said.....
I am never going to buy another Ubisoft PC product again until they remove the Nazi DRM and formally apologize to their paying customers.
Looks like I'll be playing everything on the Xbox360, they've killed their PC market for me.
Sad really.

BC2 has had just as many annoying problems, but it's fucking awesome and I love it. Might as well give this one a chance as too.

They are here for the money and they are not stupid. If their games don't sell because of this DRM nonsense they will get rid of it and try something else. It's that simple. Of course it will take time, they will try to strongarm us for at least a couple games and a couple months.. But if a couple of their blockbusters bomb because of that they will reevaluate their approach.
Vote with you wallet.
If you let these kind of things happen it can only get worse with time. One of these days you'll have to slit your wrists and feed your PC with your own blood just to play your games and everybody will find that normal because "that's the way it is" and "publishers will do whatever they want. " No they won't, but it only depends on you.

There is already a petition against the DRM:

But its too wordy and goes on too much about piracy. I have created my own that is basically just concerning the boycott.

Thanks, hope we do well.

No thanks Ubisoft, and having an 'official' release a week after it's come out shows the contempt you really feel for the product and it's fans.
Fuck. You. Very. Much. Go bankrupt.
Companies who implement these horrible DRM measures should go out of business.

The dev team should be furious that all their efforts are going to be overshadowed by a horrendously bad decision from some executive asshole in Ubi's management team.
