It Just Keeps Getting Better: Ubisoft DRM Troubles Caused by “Server Attack”
Earlier, we brought you word that Ubisoft’s much-maligned DRM servers were on the fritz. “But why?” you probably wondered before continuing to stay far, far away from them. Well, what goes around comes around, it would seem, because Ubisoft’s declared that its servers are under “attack.” PC gamers who are both tech-savvy and prone to semi-militant protest? Who’da thunk it? “Ubisoft would like to apologize to anyone who could not play AC2 or SH5 yesterday. Servers were attacked and while the servers did not go down, service was limited from 2:30PM to 9PM Paris time. 95% of players were not affected, but a small group of players attempting to open a game session did receive denial of service errors. All players with an open session during the attack were not affected,” said the publisher. But it gets better. You see, a scant few hours later, the servers came under fire again. “Our servers are under attack again,” tweeted a Ubisoft rep. “Some gamers are experiencing trouble signing in. We’re working on it and will keep you posted.” Ubisoft, as much morbid glee as we’re deriving from this twisting train wreck, we think you might want to consider slamming on the breaks before your credibility ends up on the list of casualties.

Oh, wait, you mean those kinds of things and not those kinds of things? Well then, that changes everything!
