DRM has had a patchy time in recent years, with measures designed to prevent piracy instead driving consumers towards it in droves. But while Valve have won over digital gamers through fair policies that don't impinge on the player's experience, Ubisoft have been engaged in an ongoing series of bizarre experiments, which include freezing Assassin's Creed 2 whenever the user's net connection cuts out, even if only for a second. Sometimes it happens for hours at a time, as happened back in 2010.Such batshittery was only the start though, with hardware site Guru3D learning during their testing process that swapping out even a single component of their PC caused Anno 2070 to completely lock them out.
Ubisoft's response? Well, you shouldn't be swapping out hardware components, should you?
What's a PC, anyway? We only use Macs around the office.
