Publisher Ubisoft has fired back about rumors that games like Silent Hunter 5 have already been cracked by pirates.
As Kotaku posted previously, new anti-piracy measure, which will also be employed in the upcoming PC version of Assassinās Creed II, requires that users maintain a constant internet connection in order to play their games. There is no āoff-lineā option, according to Ubisoftās official FAQ on the new DRM method, resulting in an experience that sounds less than pleasant. Ubisoft later attempted to clarify how its DRM implementation works.

āYou have probably seen rumors on the web that Assassinās Creed II and Silent Hunter 5 have been cracked,ā the publisher told website CVG. āPlease know that this rumor is false and while a pirated version may seem to be complete at start up, any gamer who downloads and plays a cracked version will find that their version is not complete.ā
This doesnāt sound so simple.
