    Ubisoft Test News DRM - Vuvuzelas!

    Ubisoft, well known for being pioneers in annoying DRM that drives away its own customers towards piracy (and they also make a few games on the side), is trying a new form of annoying DRM - vuvuzelas!

    Pirated copies of the new Michael Jackson DS game appears to feature a new anti-copy feature which replaces all the pop star's songs with vuvuzela sounds. The game is also disabled in several other fashions, including the removal of critical clues that makes the game playable.

    Ubisoft introduced a new controversial type of DRM for their PCs games earlier in the year, which required a constant Internet connection in order for the game to work - a brief interruption to your connection could lose all unsaved progress and boot you back into the Windows desktop. That DRM was hacked shortly after release, allowing pirates, and paying customers, to play without having these severe restrictions placed on them.

    This new DRM could be less annoying, and if it only affects pirated copies, many will think the pirates are get what they deserve (that is, an unplayable game that they've paid nothing for).

    Is that game even playable if you own it though?

    And I'm sure someone will crack this soon, NO anti-piracy works forever, and I mean NONE.

        I was just kidding around, because I've seen previews for that Michael Jackson game and it looks stupid.
