playstation Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 ^^I have a bad feeling abt this... others companies may try this thing specially coz it solves reselling issue and this means big money .... Ubisoft games are great..dont wanna miss them...specially coz it saves me lot of money buying it on pc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HundredProofSam Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 If it works, I don't mind it. My PC is always connected to the internet anyways, so I'm not gonna boycott Ubi games simply on principle. They have a right to protect their games from piracy so if this works for them and for gamers, I'm all for it. I didn't mind EA's DRM either. That said, I don't think this little experiment is gonna work, so not only is no one else going to implement this, but Ubi will also drop it a year or so from now. And they've already planned for it by saying they can revert to the old method and allow offline gaming and saves if this system is scrapped. peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jDaMn Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 If any service is stopped, we will create a patch for the game so that the core game play will not be affected.Or you could just point your users to the torrent sites where the patch would have been available from pre-release!

dante77 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 My PC is always connected to internet too. One of my friend only buy original PC games but he doesn't have any internet connection. He don't have any consoles either and he loved AC, SC. Now, he have to stop playing ubi games just because of this retarded service. Btw, I didn't tell him about this service yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gautam Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 The thing they mention about unlimited installs and not requiring the disc to play the game. Does that mean I can install the game and pass it on to my friend and he can do the same and pass it on, and all of us will be able to play the game off a single purchased copy?

So I'm guessing you can only share MP.. can't use SP until the save game is freed up by the previous user (else it's an overwrite). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulovski Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Or you could just point your users to the torrent sites where the patch would have been available from pre-release! this could be a move by Ubi to push more players on to the console version which is more expensive.

Aftrunner Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Actually that would be retarded of them. Assuming someone buys a genuine copy then Ubi make more money off the PC version than they do on the console version. No MS or Sony to take a chunk out of the cost. Plus Digital download sales via Steam even cut out the retailers and the packaging costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jDaMn Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Actually that would be retarded of them.I'm sure Bulovski was not seriously claiming that someone would go to all the trouble of creating the whole loggedinallthetime gaming online saving nightmare only to scare people off PC gaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
