Ubisoft is full off bullshit lately. Just don't buy their games. They'll blame piracy for lack of buyers anyway...

It's kind of funny since Steam sort of promotes "play your games anywhere" which DRM prevents you from accessing and playing games from other computers...
Maybe it's time they came up with something different for Steam, something like embed Steam agent code into the executable which would lock it to your account and not to the computer. PCs get replaced/upgraded more frequently, not like console which lasts 10years...

The gaming industry should learn to understand that the easier it is to buy the game, the more people will buy it. If a game doesn't get released in my country, what do I do? Well, there's Steam and the others now, but what about before?
Besides, for DVD copies, you gotta admit that it's a pain to put the DVD in the drive and remove it afterwards. Whenever I got a game that requires the disc to be played, I use a crack. No need to go spelunking in my shelves anymore.
Of course they are. That explains why England had a whole dynasty of French kings after being invaded by the Normans, and also Charlemagne's empire, and that's without even mentioning the French colonial empire either. Oh, and as pointed out by the link towards tvtropes, they also helped a certain former British colony gain independence. I guess it's too hard remembering who helped your country become one.
Anyway... The whole truth is, the French were stupid. For some reason, they thought they'd be unbeatable by building a huge wall called the Maginot Line, which was easily circumvented by the Germans, what with their Blitzkrieg technique.
Since it would've been very demoralizing for the American troops to hear that such a powerful country got defeated that easily, the higher-ups told the grunts that the French had just surrendered like that.
Of course, as people don't like thinking — it hurts their poor lil' brain too much —, that oversimplification about the French surrendering as if it were the latest trend stuck. No word on French resistance, no word on the non-Jews hiding Jewish kids in the countryside, and pretending that they're their own kids to the Nazis.
Last but not least, a decision taken unilaterally by a president (and a general) doesn't mean the whole population agrees with it. Otherwise, I could say that the French are happy with President Sarkozy's first, which was to raise his salary (along with those of the other politicians') a lot.

Good luck with that, even the almighty Steam can't make games available to everyone, even if it was for short period it is still a huge hit on release day sales which as I'm sure everyone here knows is the most important point for games (usually used to determine what to do with the IP and game).
First part of the post fine, 2nd part pure and utter tripe, please go and rant over at GN if you really feel the need to give a history lesson. Oh and FYI it's not the first time the french have conceeded to the Germans, they have done it again and are now Germany's hand puppet in the sinking ship that is the EU, oh and didn't their credit rating also just get downgraded?
Very OT post.
Good thing there are spoiler tags.
What? The Duke of Normandy had more in common with the King of Denmark than the King of France in 1066, considering they're both Vikings.
By your reasoning then, considering the Normans also captured Sicily and southern Italy during the Middle Ages...they are now Italians? Simply because Vikings went to Normandy, which just so happens to be in northern France, they are now French...and because they are now French, and they captured England, England is now under the French...?
It's still kind of hazy there though, considering the "Franks" are still not that "distinct" so to speak, to the other Germanic tribes around that time. It's only when his sons "went their own ways" when "distinctions" started to arise.
Well, the UK "lost" their colonies in the 20th Century relatively peacefully at least, likewise for the Netherlands. France lost Indochina in dramatic fashion however, wasting the only consistently excellent armed force they ever had (FFL) with useless commanders on the upper echelons of command. Then there's Algeria...
It's more out of "the enemy of my enemy is my (temporary) friend" rather than any benevolent actions by France though. Considering the monarchy's approaching its death throes then. Afterwards there was the "Quasi War" between the two (although admittedly it's the French republic already)...
That didn't happen. You're saying the likes of Eisenhower and Montgomery would lie to their own men when LeClerc and the 2nd Armored Division are with them? You're criticizing "oversimplification" by oversimplifying?![]()
Although admittedly, the French are still stupid and did surrender, especially with the establishment of Vichy France. The Netherlands and Belgium and Poland and Denmark and Norway didn't surrender, they got occupied. They still had their government-in-exile (and monarchy-in-exile when applicable). But in the case of the French, they surrendered.
The French Resistance doesn't get really talked much, admittedly. Because France were sharply divided then, the Free French on one side and Vichy France in the other. So much for their "brotherhood" eh? The French can't even decide as one whole nation which side they are on.![]()
So why the f**k was that midget elected then? By "divine right of kings" and not by elections?
Well, I guess he won't be re-elected then though. But then again if the ultranationalists win...woe betide to France, and the EU too.

Ubisoft's Horrible DRM
sorry but to the point
Here's what Ubisofts DRM is doing these days, they don't just verify the number of PCs you work on, nope .. they monitor hardware changes. So once we inserted that GeForce GTX 590 the hardware id # changed rendering our activation invalid.

http://www.guru3d.com/news.html#14972

Yeah, thanks for your 'constructive' comment. So you think because you posted about it (your link is broken by the way, maybe get that fixed ) a little before in the forum it can't be a news article?

ill try and make it a bit more constructive next time, im no hater no sweat, but i read that on guru on friday and the links broke cos its old simples
and yeh its fine as news as some might not have seen it yet but 3 days later makes it a repeat for a lot of us hence my point, next day yeh fine that day great , 3 days later bit late imho
OT Ubisoft Are on Crack simples , theyll get none of my money on any format ever again, and they may not be the only ones,
im starting to think EA have done something similar on the sly as crysis 2 seems to want to reactivate with the slightest oc tweek, ive had to go through ea support a few times now to get it back activated . only to start it again last night (after mem oc) and the shit wants activateing again upon which it tells me activations exceeded.
ive had enough of drm, all games on my pc are getting cracked now, just so i can play MY ORIGINALs when i sodding want ,pathetic its easyier by a country mile to get install and play a copy then it is to play my allready installed game that ive owned a while.![]()
Quibit, you might want to update the news post. Guru3D was contacted by support over the weekend and their key was unlocked so he could do the benchmark article.
So there you have it, benchmarkers wanting to use the game need simply contact the proper tech support people and have the key unlocked.
And normal people will need to contact tech support if they update hardware 3 times.
99% of users will never be effected, and those that are are taken care of.

Well, I see that you're ok with it and it boils down to what you're willing to put up with, so it's not a black and white situation. Personally, I don't think it's reasonable to make people jump through these bureaucratic hoops, waste time and get frustrated just to play their games and is enough to make me boycott the product. This stuff should be should be reserved for the proper context, such as applying for driving licences, government benefits etc, you get the picture. It's quite ironic that when trying to relax and de-stress with a game, one gets stressed out over something like this!
