1 edit | Ubisoft Uses Internet Crack To Get Around Its Own DRM
Yeah, what irony - huh? LMAO!
Pwned themselves(and customers) then stole code to *fix* it.
Can't wait to see the spin that tries to get applied to this!

Laguna Hills, CA | These companies just step on their dicks with DRM. It doesn't slow the pirates a bit while legit users just get frustrated to the point of buying less games. |

ALL of my games get the NoCD/NoDVD treatment.
This is just funny! They boned themselves! Twice!

1 edit | In my case I abandoned PC gaming all together. Between the DRM, stability issues and rampant cheating, it's not worth it. FPS sucks ass on consoles and Mac but at least I get to play without jumping through a bunch of friggin hoops and 50 hours of TSing start-up and punkbuster errors.
They make it next to impossible for 'legit' game buying users like me to use their products. It ends up being easier to just grab a cracked version off usenet for free. |

Pirating the pirates!
Gotta love it.
Kind of hard to take piracy complaints by companies seriously
when they do something like this.

well no CD cracks arent really piracy and arent illegal, yet.
but still wrong for ubisoft to not make their own code not need a CD without leeching off the work of fans.

the DMCA holds less value then the speed limit. i feel atleast some guilt when violating that. i feel no guilt when breaking the DMCA, if i buy the media it is mine.
