Ubisoft Changes Anno 2070 DRM

Guru3D has a follow-up to the recent incident where they reported problems creating a performance review for Anno 2070 because the DRM in the strategy sequel was triggered by them changing graphics cards in their test rig. In spite of a report where Ubisoft claimed this was working "as intended," the latest news is this aspect of the game's copy protection is now being dropped. Here's word they got from the developers at Blue Byte:
Just wanted to let you know, that we now remove the graphics hardware from the hash used to identify the PC. That means everyone should now be able to switch the GFX as many times as he/she wants.
Incidently, that Anno 2070 VGA Graphics performance review is now complete.

Well, who ever said Blues attracts reasonable people? Hehe

Anyhow, fair point i guess i will turn it down 2 notches.. juts saying.. Anno 2070 is pretty nice and my favorite chill game currently.. so yeah.. made even a personal mod to get rid of that god annoying blur

I get where you're coming from though. Most niche titles are exactly the kind that can't afford to bother with DRM which is what makes Ubisoft being their publisher so unfortunate.
