Ubisoft drops DRM - Will you support them?

7 Comments 19 Votes 378 Views 07/09/2012 Back to Polls

Ubisoft have become well known for their strict DRM enforced on PC gaming due to their claims that 93 - 95% of their players are pirates. Now they have announced they have dropped always-on DRM in favour of one time activation.

Does this mean you will support their PC efforts now, or continue to loathe them every chance you get?

UPlay is still as half-baked as ever and its cloud synchronisation for save games is still bugged to hell but Ubisoft did a good thing by finally listening to gamers.

I have neither bought or played a single Ubisoft game since they announced their knuckle-dragging scheme. After the news broke that they finally got rid of it, I bought Assassin's Creed 2, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and I Am Alive. And soon, after finishing Brotherhood, I'll grab Revelations.

I Am Alive is an ugly, unpolished and poorly ported mess though.

All the same, well done, Ubisoft. Now just either bring UPlay up to reliable scratch (even Origin is far more dependable) or kill it off and you'll be okay in my books again.

I don't support any company or DRM scheme that victimises and criminalises the legitimate buyer. If only more people had the self-control to do the same perhaps such things would never come to exist in the first place.
