Danja Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 I just found the following article about the new DRM that Ubisoft plans to implement: http://www.electronictheatre.co.uk/index.php/pc/pc-news/4009-ubisoft-reveal-pc-online-services-platform-details Ubi published LOMAC, no? Will this new DRM be in FC 2.0? I dearly hope not; I'm boycotting every game that uses this system. Thanks to anyone who knows.
slug88 Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Ubisoft has nothing to do with FC, FC2.0, DCS: Ka-50, or any current or upcoming Eagle Dynamics release. Ubi's involvement with ED ended with the release of LOMAC. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Rikus Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 I think you are wrong Slug88. DCS is from ED and only from ED. But for FC2 you need LOMAC 1.0 and here Ubisoft it´s owner too. Greetings
GGTharos Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 FC2 will be using the same DRM as DCS: Black Shark - ie. Star Force activation. It will not be Ubisoft's DRM. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
EtherealN Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Short summary of how this works: ED developed LO, Ubisoft published. ED dropped UBI. TFC/ED developed and published FC. TFC/ED developed and published DCS:BS Ubisoft is only relevant for the original LockOn. I believe CIS countries had 1C as publisher even there. So basically, anything Ubisoft says or does is completely irrelevant to anything that ED and/or TFC does. They still hold rights to the Lock On trademark in the west (which is why TFC/ED is unable to republish combination boxes on it's own in the west), but anything and everything after that is just TFC and ED.
