Assasin's Creed 2 PC DRM
- Thread starter Karen M
- Start date
From what I understand key parts of the game's logic are run server side so crackers would have to do some reverse engineering, but with no access to those parts of the code.
Even if it does get cracked eventually (fingers crossed), it's been out for over 2 weeks. Don't know about sales, but now the DRM has cut out the 'convenience' excuse of piracy, which in my opinion is a significant reason why North American's steal games in the first place. That must a record for a mainstream game not getting cracked from the scene? If it does get cracked, will the scene groups be able to crack the next Ubisoft-DRM'd game faster? Or would it just be another huge task for those groups for the next game.
Hopefully the purchasing population's public backlash against this DRM will be it's demise. Something like 5% of players are having problems because of the DRM.
A month and a half after release date? If so I think it's safe to say Ubisoft has won a huge DRM/piracy battle. That kind of success must be unprecedented in a single player game, Shirley
