Some Ubisoft Games Completely Disabled Due To Server Switch

Posted on Thursday, February 2 @ 16:52:24 Eastern by



Though Ubisoft has recently released titles that only need a single activation as DRM, other games will be thoroughly disabled when Ubisoft moves their online servers next Tuesday, February 7th. This is due to their previous DRM that requires the game to be online at all times.

Online modes for the majority of Ubisoft games will be disrupted, with the exception of Assassin's Creed: Revelations and Driver: San Francisco for all platforms. Just Dance 3 on Xbox 360 and The Settlers Online on PC will escape the blackout too.

Unfortunately, Tom Clancy's HAWX 2, Might & Magic: Heroes 6, and The Settlers 7 for PC will go dark for both PC and Mac, the latter of which will also see Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell Conviction, and The Settlers disabled as well. Uplay on PC will also be rendered inactive.

Ubisoft has yet to send word of how long this maintenance will take.

    So after the move, these games come back, or is this a light out forever moment?

    I would guess yes, they will be back, since it is just a maintenance downtime.

    On another note, companies need to stop doing crap like this for DRM. It makes me not want to get a gaming rig and start PC gaming again.

    It makes me want to pirate the game so I don't have to deal with the idiotic DRM.

    Or alternatively, buy the game legally but used a cracked exe to play without the DRM.

    Or you could, you know, not play it.

    But i guess that would require actual willpower.

    Some older games may be gone for good, if you bought the game legally get the cracked exe. But this makes a huge case for these single player must be always online complaints. Id like to see Ubisofts pr ppls official response.
