ubisoft always cry poor. Fuckem they can die in a fire for all i care.
There games run like shit, there fucking console ports. Over priced for what they are.
They gave people a reason to pirate.
I've found most of their games run pretty well. Not really sure what you mean by console port though... I don't think such a thing actually exists as they develop for a variety of platforms at the same time (PS3/360/PC).
Agreed, their drm fucking sucks, I keep getting kicked out of anno 2070 because I lose connection to the server even though my internet is working fine. Its easier to pirate their games.
This is why I stopped buying Ubisoft games, and will continue to do so until systems like this are removed.
WTF are these wankers serious...... How many people have hacked their consoles... Bahahahaha.. Besides, fuck consoles... They are nothing more than a door stop AFAIK!
UBISOFT is an epic FAIL!!!!
You should go look at some sales figures comparing PC to PS3/360 sales and market share before you go claiming "how many people have hacked their consoles". It's fairly obvious which platforms make the most money (It's not the PC with majority of titles). I think a few people probably have consoles that can play illegitimate software, but it really is tiny slice of the pie.
There's a reason why a lot of games go exclusively to consoles and PC users miss out ( See Red Dead Redemption ). It's because the publisher makes a huge tonne of money with a reduced level of piracy on those console platforms, plus it's not as easy to get a hacked PS3/360 to play pirated games compared to a PC.
Ubisoft are a pretty jerkish company though. They used to make some really decent stuff, have a good set of development teams which produce impressive work. It's just unfortunate that they're holding themselves back by DRM / Piracy rubbish. The only people they're really hurting are their loyal fan base who will either continue to purchase their games without caring about DRM, OR, they will just stop buying their games in which case it hurts their bottom line. It's unfortunate but I guess this is the way things are going, hopefully they learn sooner rather than later that people just want to enjoy the products they are creating.
