As if it was not bad enough that Ubisoft has attached an always-online DRM requirement to new PC game releases, the publisher has gone and made things a whole lot worse.
Gamers who bought copies of Assassin’s Creed 2 and Silent Hunter 5 over the weekend are up in arms, as server crashes rendered the games virtually unplayable.
Reports have been coming in that gamers have been having problems installing the games, and playing and saving games.
Ubisoft has released a statement, claiming that the server crashes are due to “exceptional demand,” although Ubisoft community managers have stated that the crashes are unacceptable.
This marks the fourth chapter in Ubisoft’s DRM debacle.
