News Ubisoft's DRM servers go down, games unplayable

they have released it on steam.... only problem is that they still have their DRM enabled over Steam's system

 

Ack, that is of course what I meant. Allow me to rephrase; why, oh why, didn't they consider Steam's DRM sufficient instead of tacking on additional annoyance?

That goes (to a lesser degree) also for games on Steam that also use GFWL.

 

I can't tell you how many times I've tried to use the Steam friends list to join a friend's game only to see the text grayed out because GFWL is used instead. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth every time I try to play DoW2.

 

Well they sent out a mail about it...free content eh?

 

what i dont get is why use this DRM... i have a connection that dies at night and i am always suffering from poor connection quality (never use talktalk people....never)
this is whats stopping me from buying the games because i know i'll be constantly being stopped and having to wait.
