Decided to do a short news article today, since there isn't much else planned, and I'm taking a week off of Freeware Fridays...
In other news, Ubisoft, you know, that company that not only used the near universally hated StarForce in their products (they stopped using it in 2006 after a shit ton of complaints),
banned EGM from reviewing their products because they got bad reviews, have also committed the ultimate hypocrisy ever.
That's right, Ubisoft, a company that has long since claimed that piracy was killing their sales, blaming it for their lack of sales on all of their products, and taken a long stand against piracy, has since issued an update to their game Rainbow Six Las Vegas 2 a while ago because the Direct2Drive version was having copyright issues.
The fix?
A No-CD crack by the piracy group "Reloaded".Ubisoft, you are the most fucking annoying videogame company in the whole world. I don't care if there are companies out there that make legitimate worse games than you do, this is the dumbest shit I've seen since Limbo of the Lost. I bet no one even virus scanned or trojan scanned that No-CD fix. Also, your sales don't suck because of piracy, they suck because all of your games blow. The only good games you have that I can think of is Shadowbane which you fucked up by the way, and Rainbow Six Las Vegas, which OH YEAH you used a fix from a piracy group because you are too fucking lazy to do it yourselves. You removed the file, but left no explanation. You'll probably say Direct2Drive did it, or scapegoat them, or say some new guy used it, but that is bullshit because we all know you guys are just lazy and didn't want to fix your own game.
Enjoy discussing this one. It's short, but oh my god...Ubisoft what were you thinking.
