if this is true... i wouldn't really be surprised.

Valve's popular PC digital distribution service Steam seems to have removed Ubisoft titles Assassin's Creed 2 and Silent Hunter V from its service in the UK. The first obvious reason for this would be because of Ubisoft's new strict DRM measures of both titles.

Assassin's Creed II was originally available for download right here, with Silent Hunter V could be snatched here. Both of these pages now now read "Sorry! An error was encountered while processing your request: This item is currently unavailable in your region."

A PC games industry insider commented: "It's the latest in the Ubisoft DRM blow-up. Steam doesn't want to lose its reputation for customer service, and these games have angered its user-base."

Thanks, CVG.

UPDATE: We have no confirmation from Ubisoft on this and Steam hasn't commented officially either. It's still not certain if these games are available via Steam in that particular region.
