Ubisoft DRM Cracked by Skid Row

…No. Not the band Skid Row. A group of hackers that has finally figured out a way to end the insanity that has been the DRM from Ubisoft on their game Assassin’s Creed II.
We all knew this day would come, and soon, but this was done fairly quickly. This new hack requires users to download and install modified executable that will completely remove the DRM and allow for play without the constant connection to Ubisoft servers.
Skid Row even left a message for Ubisoft
“Thank you Ubisoft, this was quiete [sic] a challenge for us, but nothing stops the leading force from doing what we do. Next time focus on the game and not on the DRM. It was probably horrible for all legit users. We just make their lifes [sic] easier.”
A bit of a harsh tone for a group of hackers who have taken a few extra precautions to avoid reverse engineering of their methods for beating this new DRM, but it’s well deserved for beating what most saw as a terrible idea.
Although this is not the first hack to come through the works, it seems to contain the full game as well. We here at The Gamerz Zone don’t condone pirating, but we can’t help but enjoy the backlash from gamers who oppose the DRM that has problems that players have absolutely no control over. Remember Ubisoft, we reap what we sow.
Hey! This really is kind of off topic but I require some advice from an established blog. Is it difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not quite techincal but I can figure points out pretty quick. I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not certain where to start. Do you’ve got any suggestions or suggestions? Cheers
