THQ is dying but ubisoft is not??

If only THQ had used more obtrusive DRM, they'd still be in business. Ubisoft's got it figured out. Uplay = $$$

Awesome, so I can go from not buying this game and boycotting Ubisoft to still not buying this game and still boycotting Ubisoft.

1. introduce terrible drm
2. wait for user backlash
3. wait for news sites to pick it up
4. issue apology and remove drm


can a mod update the thread title too, thanks

Ugh..this is bullshit...instead of getting it right the first time, they're just going to wait for consumers to raise a big enough stink about it. Fuck them.

So what if I change my CPU? Or my motherboard? Or my RAM?

That's a very good question. Someone needs to contact this journalist and have him check since he's testing the game.

Hi Hilbert,

Just wanted to let you know, that we now remove the graphics hardware from the hash used to identify the PC.
That means everyone should now be able to switch the GFX as many times as he/she wants.

Cheers,

No, they haven't removed the DRM. This states that the terrible DRM is still there, just that changing your graphics card no longer counts against you. Changing your CPU / motherboard or installing on another computer seems to still count against your 3 strikes.

This is still completely unacceptable.

Only pirates change hard drives, what with all the free games taking up space.
