Ubisoft DRM servers hit by DDoS attack

they'll be DDoSed again, just you wait.

funny.. so f---kin funny.. made my day

yup lol. hope they keep it down longer next time.

GREAT idea

to the appointed hacker : if you see this, kudos :)

UBI got what was coming to them

Oh sweet irony. The pirates play, and legitimate users suffer. Nice job Ubisoft!

I still don't think they were hacked...I just think they were overloaded by all the DRM connections...and the ddos attack is just a cover.

But if they were hacked, I hope the hacker gets away with it and goes on to do this to some other evil company.

This is a class action lawsuit here. Legitimate users paid for the game and even with a notification on the box before purchase warning that an internet connection is required, Ubisoft has failed to hold their end of the implied contract when the sale was made. The user is required to fullfill the requirements listed on the box and with this DRM system, Ubisoft is required to provide the service to authenticate the game. Ubisoft has failed to do so quite a bit lately. I wonder if I get a game now if I would qualify for the inevitable class action lawsuit. But I don't want to be the no-life lawsuit hunter so, whatever. I wonder what the pirated downloads to sales numbers are though.
