| 863917 | 2010-03-04 03:41:00 | Here (kotaku.com) Publisher Ubisoft's latest attempt to curb piracy of its PC games, making its debut appearance in submarine sim Silent Hunter 5, has allegedly been cracked by "sceners" the day after its release. Ubi's new anti-piracy measure, which will also be employed in the upcoming PC version of Assassin's Creed II, requires that users maintain a constant internet connection in order to play their games. There is no "off-line" option, according to Ubisoft's official FAQ on the new DRM method, resulting in an experience that sounds less than pleasant. Ubisoft later attempted to clarify how its DRM implementation works. |

| 863919 | 2010-03-04 03:52:00 | I stopped buying PC games awhile back due to the crap they load onto your system and the restrictions they try and place on the user. A lose/lose situation. I have no PC games and they don't get my money.Awesome. |

| 863921 | 2010-03-04 05:35:00 | Buying the game puts a new slant on "Paying the penalty". Don't pay if you want the enhanced gaming experience. I detect lawyers and accountants at work there somewhere. |

| 863923 | 2010-03-04 05:50:00 | One day? Is that a new record now? Not at all, Many games get cracked and distributed weeks before release date. |
