Wow. That was, what, an entire day?

I can totally imagine the Ubisoft offices:

"Mon Dieu! Mon Dieu!"
"ZUT!"
"Reparez les ordinateurs!"
"Nous ne savons pas la probleme!"
"Les clients vont nous tuer!"
"Je suis fini!"

hahahahaha.... This is amazing I'm literally laughing at how funny this situation is, I wonder how the apologists will try to defend ubi.

Those who mind the DRM are a minority, so many people bought the game that they still overloaded the servers.

Those are the people that don't know what DRM means, generally. All the people I work with save one or two don't have a clue what it means, nor do they know what dedicated servers are. It's unfortunate, really. The masses that don't understand these things are the ones that make life worse for the people who do understand them.

Those are the people that several articles are predicting will be returning the game as "defective." And in a way, it is. With these kinds of issues right out the gate, Ubisoft will be lucky if this doesn't end up in their HQ being burned down by an angry mob. This is seriously going to hurt them.

Return or not--I'm sure they know what DRM is NOW.

Ubisoft--ruinin' it for everyone.
