Ubisoft got hacked.

While Ubisoft may not be the only game publisher that is getting a lot of flack as of late for overly restrictive (and stupid) DRM, but they’re sure as hell the only site within the last few days to have the full force of the gaming/hacking/anti-DRM population focused solely on them. At first, the draconian “always on” DRM that debuted with titles such as Assassins Creed seemed bad enough. Multiplying gamers’ frustration however came not but a few hours later when Ubisoft’s DRM servers crashed, rendering those shiny new “infected” games useless. Clearly some pent up anger is festering here.

Late Sunday, the very gamers who felt betrayed at the hands of Ubisoft revolted. Well…Skidrow revolted that is. The image above was what any and every visitor would see when visiting Ubi.com for a short while. The hack has now been removed and normal operation re-established. But it just goes to show that this new age DRM BS is not in the best interest or wants of gamers today.
