Ubisoft DRM Cracked?

[Apr 22, 2010, 09:06 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Ubisoft's "always on" DRM has been defeated, according to a report on CNET, where they say a playable cracked version of Assassin's Creed II is now in the wild. All new Ubisoft PC games, including AC2, include internet-based validation that has caused problems playing games, but has been described by the publisher as "vital" to its business. It seems a little unusual for a mainstream site like CNET to post updates on pirated software, though Ubisoft's public denial of the previous report that their DRM was cracked has arguably set a precedent for this as a news topic. Thanks Joao.

The values are always the same so I don't really see the problem with any group using them. It's pirate e-cred bullshit anyways. As the protection becomes more advanced it's going to be difficult for groups to differentiate between server emulators being a "crack" anyways. The bottom line is that it's playable.
