Ubisoft abandon DRM which required the player to stay connected

The Ubisoft DRM system was ever cause for complaint among players by requiring that the computer was always connected to the internet to validate the matches. Now, however, the company seems to be willing to abandon the rather intrusive method of anti-piracy, investing in a simpler solution: activation only the first time a title run.

According to the director of the online games developer, Stephanie Perlotti, the new measure is already worth since June 2012 and was adopted in response to fan requests. Ubisoft has also adopted a more progressive and similar to the independent game, allowing a single copy can be activated on multiple computers.

Have Michael Burl, communications director of the company, said he did not believe the previous system has tarnished the reputation of Ubisoft. For him, in a statement that was supported by Perlotti, the old DRM is part of an internal process of the company, which has been modified and adapted over time through the response of the players.
