Settlers 7 Aus DRM Woes

[Mar 31, 2010, 4:27 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

The Ubisoft Forums have numerous posts from gamers in Australia beginning before last weekend complaining of difficulties playing Settlers 7 due to difficulties accessing Ubisoft's "always on" DRM servers, which are apparently not always on. There are discussions of various workarounds, but nothing that seems to get consistent results. Thanks Games On Net.

The real issue is how many people know about the DRM? You figure joe casual gamer isn't going to be as informed as people like us. Anyway, they'll be figuring it out damn quick. The funny thing is you can imagine how the poor retail clerks are having to del with irate customers returning games when most store have a no return policy on open games.

If I wasn't aware of the DRM, than brought it back for a refund or exchange and they said no, I'd go ballistic. I'm certain we're going to see several class action suits against retailers and Ubisoft before long, and rightfully so.

How long before Ubisoft crashes and burns at this rate, I wonder.
