Delay But No Demo For Driver: San Francisco on PC

[IronicBeet]

You know, they complain about piracy, and then they don't release any demos.

Way to go, guys.

Looks like I'm donning my eye patch and peg leg. . . Again.

Fuck you, Ubisoft; to think I once held reverence for you. . .

Despite this, and the Diablo III fiasco, I will continue to be an avid PC gamer til I die, and that's my word.

And then they will be surprised when PC sales are low and piracy is rife.

You know, I have half a mind to say it's entirely planned; a method to get people to lose interest in PC gaming, and to create excuses for why they've stopped supporting it.

Please don't put on the eye patch. Pay for the game, but just what it is worth, i.e the 1/4 of original price it will be on steam by the end of the year. Patience not the eye patch....

Yeah it does sometimes feel like intentional sabotage sometimes.

I don't want to go in too much detail, for fear of getting banned (one more warning and I'm gone); so I'll simply say: I will pay for it, no doubt. I always do.

Well Ubisoft if you really hate money then we can't help you, maybe visit a class or two to help you get over that phobia.

Ah it's not like I'm a fan anyway.

DRM (XBLA) doesn't matter to me. Not even for my PC games. I don't pirate, and I have an internet connection. No problem.

Actually that attitude is exactly the problem. And XBLA isn't DRM.

I have to have a constant internet connection to play downloaded games, it's the same as always online DRM, eh?

Really? Fair play (just Googled) - I thought you were getting GfWL and stuff mixed up actually. But still, you're part of the problem.

It really isn't a problem if people don't care. If he doesn't mind that they want you to stay online, good for him.

Yes it is. Ubisoft crack open the champagne, claim its a success (even though its been cracked, but not to worry), and the people who struggle with connections (which plenty do through no fault of their own) are stuck not being able to play more and more games.

I rarely have an issue with my connection, I'm still not willing to take it up the chuffer just because it doesn't directly affect me.

does anybody remember the warcraft 3 demo? it added an entire mini-campaign that bridged the gap between the tutorial and the orc campaign, today that stuff would be 15? dlc.

This.

I am just sick of DRM though, I purchased the fucking game. Why should I be punished with DRM. Why would I try to crack the game I already fucking paid to play? DRM doesn't stop piracy only delays it, usually by a day or two. Why bother wasting your companies resources and time on servers that need to be running 24/7/365 just so people's games can call home and say "hey I'm legit", when the pirated version just goes "hey I don't care to phone home. Fuck mom and dad. I'll stay out as late as I want." Very few companies actually understand this concept.

And totally this!

Do they realise DRM has been cracked before and it will be cracked again? What do they just think we're gonna be upset cos we don't have multiplayer? Hah I'm not a online-multiplayer person anyway and most of the people I know aren't so I'll just wait an xtra week or so till the game gets pirated and get a version of the game which will be better than the actual release.

It would actually top everything up if the pirate group would actually turn the steering wheel support on in the game as Ubisoft said they have tried steering wheels before with it so they might have just turned off that feature in the game files. If that's what they did well the pirates have turned many hidden features on in games before that either weren't meant to be there or were disabled in the release so there's still a small chance to play it with a wheel and if they actually manage that I think Ubisoft will go down in flames.
