Ubisoft Denies Launch Day Crack for Silent Hunter 5 DRM

God Bless the pirates! They are one of the few groups to which I can say "I love those bastards, but hate them at the same time."
Seeing that they were defeated hours after the war started I can see why.Wakefield said:
But I have no sympathy for them, I'm still pissed about Farcry 2.
Ha ha ha ha, this made my day honestly.
"Please know that this rumor is false and while a pirated version may seem to be complete at start up, any gamer who downloads and plays a cracked version will find that their version is not complete."
I can just tell that the original script followed with, "The full version of the game leaves you with an emptier wallet, a feeling of being screwed over if you are one of the 30% of Americans without broadband, and soreness in your rectum after finishing going through our DRM procedures. We at Ubisoft think this increases the value of our games."
Come on guys, look at iTunes model for music. They've made so much money because they offer convenience and ease for you when you want music or movies. That's why iTunes does so well against pirated music, you know it'll just work and your paying for convenience. Why on Earth would you make it harder for people to play your game when they pay for it?

That's the downside of using this brand spanking new DRM system for all your games. As soon as it's cracked, all your games are. You can only change it so much to avoid breaking existing games.

Heh, the funny part is that no one can confirm it officially without admitting to piracy, so even if it is lies ubisoft can come down on them like a ton of bricks and get it removed (ok, i know the pirates can. But not on the general legit gaming websites.)
touche Ubisoft.

Don't get them started. I abhor the idea of cloud gaming, but that seems to be exactly the route that is being taken. The technology is right on track to have us playing next gen games streamed to our computers through a browser.new_age_reject said:
Seems like a perfect win right? Except that then you would always have to be online as there would be no local install, except maybe a browser tool or a specialized browser. It's like the Ubisoft DRM scheme times 1000.
Which would be great for casual games, and games with short bursts of playtime like racing games. Anything longer or having more potential for customization, I would want a local install so that I can have real fun with the game.
I don't pirate games, and I really want to say that pirating a game is always wrong. And I intend to never pirate this or any game. However, Ubisoft is making me seriously question whether I'm doing the right thing. A first day crack, the more I think about it, might send a positive message to Ubi, and make them give up on these stupid DRM scams. And they need bad PR regarding this always online BS. It's sad that I don't want to pirate their games, but feel like they are trying to force me to. A lot of people are not going to be as stubborn as me.
The real thing I'm interested in is information on the last PoP game. The one they released with no DRM as an experiment, to see how often it was pirated. Once that comes back as hardly pirated at all, then there will be a true reckoning.

So they make a sheme that you have to be connected to the internet at all times? That's just brtual. My respect for Ubisoft dropped quite a bit, glad that I didn't pick up AC2 for PS3.
It seems to be almost an E-sport already to crack shit on launch day. I wish the developers just gave it a rest already.
