Earlier today, our tips inbox and the official Assassin‘s Creed 2 forum were set ablaze by incensed owners of the PC version of the aforementioned Italian revenge epic. According to numerous reports from prospective players of the game, Ubisoft’s DRM authentification servers have crashed, forcing some players to suffer lengthy login periods when booting up Assassin’s Creed 2, and locking some folks out of the game entirely.
A Ubisoft representative responded to a particularly rage-filled forum thread, stating “clearly the extended downtime and lengthy login issues are unacceptable, particularly as I’ve been told these servers are constantly monitored.” The representative added “I’ll do what I can to get more information on what the issue is here first thing tomorrow and push for a resolution and assurance this won’t happen in the future.” We’ve got a really great suggestion for how to make such an assurance: Find a less abominable DRM policy.
[Thanks, Marc!]
