Beware the Frog

A une époque je voulais lancer un blog sur les jeux vidéo, et voici le résultat ; je ne poste plus tellement dessus, donc il ne sert pas à grand chose, mais je ne peux pas me résoudre à le fermer.

“Ubisoft’s DRM Servers Under Attack by Hackers”

Following a span of a number of hours yesterday when owners of the PC version of Assassin’s Creed 2 and Silent Hunter 5 couldn’t play due to problems with Ubisoft’s DRM authentication servers, the company now says the server problems were the result of hacker attacks — attacks that are evidently still ongoing. As of this writing, Ubisoft’s official Twitter account reports the DRM authentication servers are once again under attack, locking some gamers out of their perfectly legally owned games.

How conveniently unverifiable.

(Not that it would make it okay for the games to be unplayable because of a DDoS rather than normal server load. It still annoys me that people actually bought that game on PC despite the DRM.)
