Ubisoft's Authentication Servers Go Down 634
ZuchinniOne writes "With Ubisoft's fantastically awful new DRM you must be online and logged in to their servers to play the games you buy.

One can only hope that this utter failure will help to stem the tide of bad DRM."

So what's life like looking through the world in rose-tinted glasses?
In all seriousness, do you know how easy it is to block a single subdomain network-wide and how extremely fucking difficult it is to sort through legal and illegal BitTorrent traffic?
