Ubisoft se ostavlja svoje DRM zaštite!

[Grim]

Ubisoft je potvrdio da će se u njihovoj nadolazećoj igri R.U.S.E. koristiti Valveova Steamworks zaštita, umjesto njihovog zloglasnog DRM-a:


“This news is destined to our PC players audience, so please spread the information if you know some. When R.U.S.E. is released in September, it will benefit from Valve’s Steamworks API to offer the best community experience to players. Consequently, a Steam account and Internet connection will be required to activate the game, as per Steam policy. For this reason, R.U.S.E. will not use the Ubisoft protection. Single player can be played offline.”


Je to znak da je Ubisoft odbacio svoju DRM zaštitu, da su spoznali svoju pogrešku? Ili je to jedinstven slučaj?

[Deadwalker]

Nije.
To se samo odnosi na Steam verziju R.U.S.E.-a i to prvenstveno da ne kompliciraju zivot igracima koji preko Steama kupe igru. Osim toga, vec su se prije Steam i Ubisoft sporili oko te zastite pa je G. Newell rekao kako razmisljaju od otkazivanju prodaje igara od Ubisofta preko njihove platforme. Ubisoftu se to ocito nije svidjelo, pa su napravili kompromis.
Retail verzija R.U.S.E.-a ce imati DRM, kao i svi ostali nadolazeci Ubisoftovi naslovi.

Mislim da je ovo više radi Valvea, da nisu htijeli da im drže igru na Steamu ako ne koriste njihov DRM a ne ono svoje čudovište, u svakom slučaju pametan potez

Edit:Ninja'd damn

[keko]

Jebao ih taj DRM, ionako će im krekati igru, a samo zakompliciravaju život onima koji kupuju original, morat će biti spojeni na server dok će gusari to zaobići i moći igrati igru offline.

[Razzarach]

lol moci ces i ti sa org igrom crackat igru ^^

[keko]

Znam, ali fora je u tome da kupac kad kupi igru, želi isporučen normalan proizvod, a ne da si još sam mora tražiti krekove da bi mogao normalno igrati.

Ne ostavlja se, ali je ipak došlo do promjena.

It looks like DRM checks on games such as Assassin’s Creed 2 and Splinter Cell: Conviction have been changed for the better. The controversial DRM system was launched earlier this year with Settlers 7, and required players to be permanently connected to the internet in order to play. Now the games will no longer pause instantly if a connection is lost, but will still require an internet connection to validate the install every time the game is booted up.

[Praetorian]

Kak im nije žao ulagat novce u zaštitu kad se probije. Nek neprave igre za PC i sve će bit super, tak i tak ubisoftove igre više ne valjaju. Osim AC ali mogu ja i bez njega.

Pozitivna promjena u svakom slučaju. Barem da se ne prekida igranje ako dode do problema s vezom.

Online modes for the majority of Ubisoft games will be impacted next week when the company moves its gaming servers.

PC and Mac gamers will find several games completely unavailable online and offline.

Ubisoft will start transitioning its online services from next Tuesday, 7th February.

PC games scheduled to go dark include Tom Clancy's HAWX 2, Might & Magic: Heroes 6 and The Settlers 7.

Mac gamers will lose access to Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell Conviction and The Settlers.

Dave bezveze korisnike koji su kupili igru dok pirati igraju bez ikakvih zajebancija s raznim zaštitama i smiju se. Ne igram baš Ubisoftove igre tako da me ovo ne dira previše, ali ipak, loša politika.

[Auctor]

Posjedujem originalne AC Brotherhood i Revelations te Trackmaniu 2 i nikad nisam imao ni najmanjem problema s DRM-om. Ovo sve je puno prenapuhano. :wink:

Najjače je kako piše na kraju kako se ne zna koliko će trajati to offline stanje. Nema ni isprike igračima.

Svatko tko nakon ovog kupi original Ubisoftovu igru za PC je teška budaletina, u nedostatku bolje riječi. Da mi i nude orginale za 10 kn, radije bi se mučio s piratskom verzijom jer davat novce kompaniji koji ima ovakav (ne)odnos s kupcima je sranje samom sebi u usta.

[Kid A]

Samo sto se sa njom ne bi nikad mucio. Skines, instaliras i bok. Koji je to apsurd bokte

[Arbiter of Change]

Ispravak netočnog navoda, izgleda da ipak nije rootkit premda ga to ne čini nimalo bezopasnijim. Tim više jer se izgleda potiho instalira.

Contrary to what some parts of the web are currently screaming, this is not a rookit – it’s an exploit in a browser extension. Alas, the vast majority of folk with said browser extension will have been hitherto unaware that Uplay had installed it.

---

Says the expert we spoke to, “you could click on a weblink, thinking you were visiting the BBC News Website from a friendly list of bookmarks. Except it’d also install a program via UBISoft’s DRM plugin which wiped your hard drive. It is a genuine threat. All it would take is an exploited wordpress, say.”

[Windwalker]

Zato sve manje i manje igram na PC-u.
Samo ekskluzive i stare naslove.

[Arbiter of Change]

Odgovor. Naravno, bez isprike kao i inače.

S “We have made a forced patch to correct the flaw in the browser plug-in for the Uplay PC application that was brought to our attention earlier today. We recommend that all Uplay users update their Uplay PC application without a Web browser open. This will allow the plug-in to update correctly. An updated version of the Uplay PC installer with the patch also is available from Uplay.com.

Ubisoft takes security issues very seriously, and we will continue to monitor all reports of vulnerabilities within our software and take swift action to resolve such issues.”

Hasta la vista, Ubisoft genijalci. Baš me zanima koliko su milijuna bacili na ovo.

We have listened to feedback, and since June last year our policy for all of PC games is that we only require a one-time online activation when you first install the game, and from then you are free to play the game offline.

I konačno jedan intervju koji pita teška pitanja. Naravno, za odgovore su dobili tipična PR preseravanja i backpedaling, ali bar su probali.
http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/09 ... interview/ (http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/09/05/ubisoft-drm-piracy-interview/)

RPS: Would you be willing to say that it was a mistake?

Burk: No, I wouldn’t say that. I’ll let Stephanie say what she thinks, but I wouldn’t use those words. This is a process, and we listened to feedback.
Perotti: I would say the same.

[Kid A]

RPS: But last year it was said that the so-called “always-on” DRM had shown a clear reduction in piracy. The quote was, “A clear reduction in piracy from our titles, which required a persistent online connection, and from that point of view the requirement is a success.” Have you any data to evidence this, and if so, are you going to publish it?
Perotti: I’m not going to comment on data. That was an unfortunate comment.
RPS: But do you understand how damaging it’s been to your argument to never actually say these numbers?
Perotti: Yes.


jebote

Kad će propast ovaj Ubisoft napokon?

Kakav je seronja bio ovaj Deadwalker.

Also, vjerojatno najbolji citat

Već sam jednom drugom prilikom napisao pa da ponovim .

Pričam figurativno .Ako živim pored nogometnog stadiona i sa svog balkona vidim teren , mogu bez problema pratiti utakmice besplatno .Ali da ne živim na tom mjestu , tko kaže da bih ja stvarno i otišao na utakmicu i kupio kartu .Vjerojatno ne bih te utakmice gledao nikako .Drugim riječima , nogometni klub od mene ovako ili onako nema nikakve koristi.

[Deadwalker]

Totalno. Toliki seronja da nije kupio nijednu Ubisoftovu igru, ali pretežito iz toga jer su smeće.
Al i dalje me to ne dira previše. Većina hipstera ovdje još uvijek igra Blizzardove DRM naslove, a seru ovdje.
Jedino respect prema Xarabasu.

[StormCr0w]

Što Blizzard nije uveo DRM tek na Diablu 3 (ne računajući WoW)?

A tko onda ima Ghost Recon i Splinter Cell Conviction na steamu? :P

[Bartuc]

Kaj to nisu 2/3 blizovih igara? :D

[StormCr0w]

Pa nećeš računat MMO pošto ionako moraš bit spojen da bi igrao.

[Deadwalker]

A tko onda ima Ghost Recon i Splinter Cell Conviction na steamu?

Conviction sam nedavno uzeo (na zadnjem Steam Saleu) za par ojra da s frendom odigram malo co-op, mislim kako always-online DRM više nije važeći, a ako je i bio, ionako ne bi igrao igru osim u svrhu co-opa gdje mi treba net...Nebitno za mene uglavnom. I to jest zadnji Ubisoftov naslov koji mi je još bio igriv
Advance Warfigher 2 je prastara igra, to sam davno uzeo zbog kolekcionarskog duha (prije te DRM spike), a nije mi žao pošto je to dosta dobar naslov.

Žao mi je jedino From Dusta zapravo, al to sam uzeo zbog recenzije koju sam radio za tv.
