Ubisoft Brings Back Always-Connected DRM For Driver: San Francisco [Slashdot]

[DP ServBot]

Last year Ubisoft introduced DRM for their PC games that required a constant internet connection, going so far as to terminate single-player games if the connection was interrupted. After facing outrage, boycotts, and DDoS attacks, Ubisoft seemed to have softened their stance, issuing a patch for two games that allowed offline play. Unfortunately, it seems the change wasn't permanent; Ubisoft's upcoming racing game Driver: San Francisco marks the return of the contentious DRM.http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgames.slashdot.org%2Fsto ry%2F11%2F07%2F28%2F0445229%2FUbisoft-Brings-Back-Always-Connected-DRM-For-Driver-San-Francisco%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Df acebook) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Ubisoft+Brings+Back+Always-Connected+DRM+For+Driver%3A+San+Francisco%3A+http% 3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FpNqgPx)
