i hear you, but i think ubi + starforce is a sort of different scenario, i think this 'solution' they are using will fall flat on its face, they developed it with no obfuscation, no encryption, and used 3rd party libs on the communication (i remember seeing some zip lib in there.. not zlib or gzip, but similar).. and they're getting ddos'ed at the moment, which is always a huge problem for this sort of drm 'solution'..

i merely tried to point out that jumping on the bandwagon really achieves nothing, time will tell for this protection, but judging from the 'feedback' ubi are getting, i'd say this drm might be short lived indeed...

and i totally agree with joe about the future, with the servers gone etc.. but apparently ubi said if this happens an unprotected exe will be released (sunsetting i guess)... that, remains to be seen..

the thing that amazes me is that they are pushing this on NON multiplayer games (at least in the 2 i saw, and i don't think ac2 is multiplayer), which sort of defies logic...
