Just when you think Ubisoft DRM can't get any worse... They might be even worse than EA and Activision at this point. |

There is an industry crash coming. I can't say exactly when, but I am willing to bet it will make the crash of '83 look like child's play. |

If only because the only game sales after the crash will be made by Child's Play. |

MEH. Just don't support them by buying the game then? There are plenty of developers out there worthy enough of your cash, just seems that no one wants to give it to them. |

nope. sorry. giving a collective fuck you to the entire industry. You and I both know they've given it to us in every way possible. I've had my mind made up about this for a couple of years now. I'm finishing up this year and that's all she wrote. |

Eh, I just don't buy from selective companies anymore. And my experience has been pretty much the same as it's ever been. Albeit I just don't care for consoles anymore.

I will still support Nintendo for at least one more generation and I also like the indie PC scene, but in my book anyone who buys the PS4, third Xbox, or Vita is going to get exactly what they've asked for with their dollars: increasingly lazy games, increasingly terrible business practices, and increasingly terrible customer service. Nintendo is certainly not innocent of this bullshit either, but they haven't crossed the bullshit Microsoft/Sony/EA/THQ/Capcom/Activision/Ubisoft line yet. Not by a longshot. I feel like the next company to be added to that list will probably be Take-Two. |

In other words, it's not a bug, but a fully intentional feature. Just when you think Ubisoft wouldn't possibly use a worse DRM than Starforce... |

I wonder if it counts plugging in a flash drive as a hardware change. |

They probably count it if you accidentally nudge your monitor a few centimeters. |
