Ubisoft Blames DRM Outage on "Server Attack"
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
I know Wal-Mart only allows an exchange for the exact same game. One of my Co-workers mentioned something about some kind of federal law. I'm not sure what she meant or if that's even true. I have a feeling that we've not heard the last of this.CD-R said:
Poor Ubisoft, keep telling yourselves that. Maybe the sheer power of your ineptitude will make it where no pirates exist, and this DRM is the best idea ever!OP said:
The emulator used to ddos the servers accidentally brute forced the first hash check, pirates can now play the first 2-3 hours without problems. At this rate, we get chapters unlocked about once every week and have the full game in a month or two. And as long as we are slowly breaking the code, the dumbasses who bought the game despite the possibility of this happening get nothing.dochmbi said:
If their goal is to piss of pirates, they are doing it right.Irridium said:
Although their goal should be to see that their paying customers are satisfied. As much as I hate software piracy, I still wouldn't inflict this DRM system on any paying customer of mine.
I was poking around on the modernwarfail2.com website. One thing they suggested people do if they want there money back was to do a charge back. Keep in mind this only works if you paid with a credit or debit card.Woodsey said:

"?Do a chargeback on your credit or debit card?
Let me elaborate.
If you file a chargeback, make the reason you?re filing it ?Defective ? product does not work as described.?
(i.e. bad lag, hackers, no dedi?s, constant d/c?s ? finding out IWNet was swapped in without your knowing)
What does this mean? It means you?re stuck with a product you can?t return because the store won?t take it back, however it doesn?t WORK the way it was intended to. Your credit card company will return the charge back to you and the place you bought it from will have to EAT the charge"

You may want to get 1000 of your friends to write a bunch of 1 star reviews tomorrow.
Sounds like they have a bad case of denial. Get it through your French heads Ubisoft, your DRM sucks more balls than the average DRM and everybody hates it. And I'm SURE that someone has a crack for it by now. Also, I'm quite sure that a lot more than 5% of people were affected.
SO, 95% can still play? And I'm guessing that the 95% were the people who bought the console version
Really? Your DRM hasn't been cracked Ubisoft? Hold on a minute...
*goes to google.com*
WOW! Your game with your shit DRM service actually IS cracked! Wow isn't that funny? How you guys are lying because this is also easy to find on googles serach? What do you hope to get by lying? That you've proven that your DRM is supposed to be for pirates and not the consumer? Well you're wrong again Ubisoft. Keep your crappy games
Your DRM is BS, I'm sticking to your old games where they were actually fun and not filled with DRM.

That thing about 95% and it hasnt been cracked yet, its a canned response.
They are not going to admit that their hardware isnt up to the task, nor that their touted unbreakable system has been broken. They may ride the short bus to work but they are not brain dead. Just remember, they like their customers but they dont trust them.
