Just a FYI, a bit of google-fu confirms that a local emulator for Settlers7 is already being worked on, and that ACII can be played 100% with all side-quests and everything, even Black Edition contents.
This is a striking case of a pirated good being better than the legal good. Good grief, how long will companies take to realize that the more you get extreme in DRM the more it hurts them in the end.
So with this Ubisoft won... what? The DRM is now cracked, or bypassed or whatever. People are in an uproar and few are buying the game. So exactly where's the win here, for anyone?
