Ubisoft DRM Hacked

Ubisoft DRM Hacked

Apparently Ubisoft’s olive branch of free games to players burned by their DRM wasn’t enough. The company’s Online Services Network (read: DRM), has been hacked by rebellious users.

Ubisoft’s DRM requires players to constantly be online in order to play not only their online games, but even single-player ventures like Assassin’s Creed II. The hack annihilates this DRM completely.

These hackers assert that their technique is foolproof, cannot be replicated, and is safe from being counter-cracked Ubisoft.
