Oh and on top of that, you extrapolated that I'm a drooling retard that wants shiny things and has no power to reason beyond that. Alrighty then... And you're still going to insist that you aren't too emotionally invested in this?
I played AC2 on a computer that had no internet connection for a while, trouble-free. I had a great time, and will cherish it as one of the best modern gaming experiences I've had in a long while. If this is getting ass-fucked, I guess I like it.
Hawx 2 WILL get cracked if it hasn't already; I don't really know because it was not high on my list. Which, incidentally is probably why it's crack took longer - it's kinda low on everyone's list. The uncrackable DRM does not exist. It may take weeks, months, or even a year in the case of SC Chaos Theory, but I can wait.

Don't get mad at Prez for not caring, gaming is a hobby. Some people get more invested than others. I don't give a shit about sports for example, I follow football very casually just to make conversation and I'm sure that's sacrilege to some people. I don't get mad specifically at him, but the fact that gamers only option to protest this is not buying it it does piss me off that gamers so quickly disregard their own consumer rights just to play the latest game. Despite being an hobby, gamers are still consumers and in the end some lines are not to be crossed, both by consumers and by publishers. For me this drm is clearly a line not to be crossed. And remember, by buying this game, regardless if you crack it afterwards, you are telling ubisoft you don't mind the drm, and that encourages them to come with worse drms, after all gamers didn't mind this drm, they won't mind a slightly worse one.
It's up to us and us alone to make certain this drm dies and we can only do that by not buying the damned thing.

I'm a gamer; gamers game. They don't don't spend all day posturing with their faux nobility on web forums about insignificant matters like some here apparently enjoy doing. I kind of feel like putting this in my signature and pointing it out in every third topic, but I'm certain I'd take it beyond where you meant it. |

Yes. Remember, ubi announced they were committing to adding this DRM to all future titles from the date they announced this crazy DRM (I think one of the prince of persia games was the first? Or was it the submarine game or settlers 7?). So far I think they've kept that promise. |

Tumbler: That's incredibly generous to my mind! I wouldn't touch a game with this kind of DRM, let alone spend $20. Steam is only barely tolerable, and my standard spending limit for a game that requires Steam is $5, purely because the DRM is objectionable (I've gone over that amount in a few cases, but not too often). I've paid more for Valve's own games, but there's really no hope of them not using Steam. For everyone else, though, it's a clear choice on the part of the publisher or developer.
Personally, I'll happily spend more money on some little DRM-free indie arcade game than the average DRM-laden AAA title. |

| Asmo: What do you mean by "If the system worked perfectly"? To me, that could only mean that the end user could never be inconvenienced by problems which were not under their control (i.e. the single player game would never refuse to start because a remote server was down), and this form of DRM simply isn't capable of providing that guarantee. In that respect, it is broken by design. |

Wasn't interested in this game, but after Assassin's Creed II refused to save a game beyond the first race with your characters brother (a glitch apparently with the online saving DRM) which meant no matter how far I progressed, it would always revert back to that save, I'm not bothering with any Ubi title featuring this BS.
If the system worked perfectly I wouldn't be nearly so bothered, but the fact it doesn't seem to work properly, compounded by Ubi refusing to fix up the problems posted by people on their forums, means they lost me as a future customer for the games that would have caught my interest.
re: Gamers will just make up excuses, sure, some will. I won't. If that makes no difference to Ubi, I could care less, I'm just over paying up for a product only to find it doesn't even basically function enough to complete a game... |

They still make good money with pc games, because there are enough people out there, who use cracks or just endure the DRM, because they are emotional dependent on games. |

If it has DRM, don't buy the game.
As someone burned by Ass Creed 2, I can tell you "always on" puts the emphasis on you, but in fact it's Ubisoft whose site is "always down" meaning you cannot play a single player game with no online element, even thought it has been registered and activated, because they can't put 50p in the meter (or whatever excuse they give).
I couldn't even raise a support call because, yep, the site was down.
Always on DRM = Game unfit for use. |

I was casually interested, as it sounded interesting, looking interesting, and it was getting middling-to-good reviews.
But, the DRM means I won't look further.
Edit: There are games that I want so badly that I might abandon my convictions for them. This isn't one of them. |

Hey Mr. High Horse, some of us don't give a shit when it comes to "working towards something better", whatever in the hell that may mean, when it comes to gaming. I know this might sound crazy, but sometimes we want to game without going on some holier-than-thou moralistic crusade. If you want to, then more power to you, but I'll save the crusading and moralizing for more critical endeavors, thanks. |

Had issues trying to load save games despite internet working fine. Fuck Ubisoft in all their holes. And yeah, I was very much looking forward to playing this game. No interest now.
Also, any new devs that are going with Ubi, fuck them too. It's not like it's going to be a surprise anymore when Ubisoft orders them to rape their game with DRM. I felt bad for the devs when this shit started happening, but not anymore. |
