Well, it would be Not Compete cause you know, they wouldn't be kicked out of the game if their network goes down. And that would ruin the experience UbiSoft is going for.

Though they could actually be refereeing to downloadable content.

I am happy that it took all of one day and seemed relatively easy for the hackers but I doubt they'll abandon their stupid DRM though. And I was hoping to play Settlers too.

We'll see tomorrow. If Ubisoft goes back on its word and says "Yeah, we got haxxored" then I'll never believe DRM can circumvent anything again (I'm borderline on the edge of saying it's worthless)

But if they admit to failure then the customers won't believe in DRM anymore. The only reason to do that is if they're giving up on DRM completely. Weither they actually got boned or not has nothing to do with telling the truth about it.

"not complete" huh? And how would they know this exactly?

How is that not a good thing?

It's good for the customers, so of course it's bad for the company. Whose side are you on?!

The side that only pirates for drm removal.

Tycho would call that "Ur-morality."

Sign me up for some ur-morality too.

Well, it's a start. It's likely not going to do much to quell the flames, but any reversal on it will at least help a little. Now the question is just how cowed the population is and how much it'll take to keep them angry from the people who still see it as a terrible system.
