theres no prof of the brilliant innovative drm being cracked, and the server crash only affected 5% of the consumers, and it was the European customers, who cares about those drunk cheese eaters.

i like defending the bad people, if theres any cigarette company's out there looking for a new front man, im looking for work, ill work for games and cigarettes.

I don't game on PCs so I don't really understand how bad DRM is. My condolences for all the hard working PC gamers that are up to their arm-pits in Ubisoft failure.

Down with DRM! Down with DRM! Down with DRM! Down with DRM!

I'm not a PC gamer. Beyond playing old/really low spec stuff.

Ahem...yeah...I just wish this comic was funny, rather than just Ubisoft bashing...I was hoping for a light-hearted comic today.

funny, but not laugh out loud funny. though it has been a while sense i have seen daikatana used in a joke. props for that. Along the lines of prediction, a lot of people here were waiting with bated breath to see what your reaction would be. =)

Keep up the good work. =)

Only people still defending Ubisoft now are ones whose main job is "devil's advocate". Just how stupid would Ubisoft executives be to hope they'll damage piracy in any way or retain a single shred of gamer cred with that debacle?

...

...

Answer: very, very, very, very, very stupid.

Your internet stops working?

Can't play.

You lose connection?

Your game freezes.

THEIR server crashes?

HAHAHAHHAHHAHH lol you lost $50.

Daikatana?. I thought Duke Nukem Never was a bigger joke.

Before Ubi, of course. I doubt anyone will ever surpass them as the zenit of stupidity.

(Edit) Also: about the joke being fun. You could just have put the Ubi logo in there and nothing else. That's the biggest joke by itself.

I hope they lose mega bucks over this, I mean I've been pissed at them since Farcry 2.

And now it seems that if I don't move fast there won't be a company to perform revenge upon.

Ubisoft claims it wasn't cracked -- is there some independent confirmation that it was? Not really interested in downloading mystery binaries to find out for myself.

It was actually because it came with the DLC that was on consoles.

Ubisoft's latest antics were so outrageously arrogant and ignorant, even my (casual gaming) girlfriend went into laughter.
And they won't stop, now that it's established that crackers "attack" the innocent servers.

DNF is thrown out for games that are taking far too long to develop, and that many believe may never come out at all (hence it is thrown around Half-life 2E3)

Daikatana is just a joke on poor game design with a mix of confusing segmented levels, weapons that will just as likely kill you as your enemy, and numerous bugs. Although it is rather funny, if annoying, to get crushed to death by a wooden door. There's a Let's Play of it on the Let's Play Archives

Not much to say about the comic, just nod my head in general agreement.

Good Analogy ^

the comical thing is the DRM is FORCING paying customers to get pirated software to run their PAID FOR GAME lol

UBISOFT making Pirates look like Robin Hoods! that in itself is worthy of facepalm.
