So. Imagine this if you will. You see a man, a lackey. He realizes that many people that have tried to buy their game in the way that is in fact BEST for the company (no storefront overhead) can actually not, in fact, play the game. He brings this up with his boss, who brings it up with his boss and so on. The CEO has no idea whats going on, and drifts off into dreams of pastry delights. It then gets passed all the way back down until the person that is now responsible for creating a fix is in fact just a forum moderator that noticed a lot of people typing in CAPS. So, he downloads the NoCD crack for the game (Created by the group RELOADED), renames the .exe and BAM. 3 hour lunch. If you dare, continue reading this sordid little tale here.
The last bit is a tad older, and I like to imagine that CEO Yves Guiellmot sits in his office, laughing at his own cruel irony. (Yes, that ironing IS delicious) The country that his little studio started in, that he was born in, cannot actually purchase his games on Steam. In fact… nobody outside North America can. Why is that sir? Oh wait, you haven’t given a valid reason. Right. Also, why when you install a game from Ubisoft (pronounced you-bee-soft, not oo-bee-soft, you knuckle draggers) does a little program PowerREGISTER show up in my task manager? Surely you just want to save me from viruses and other bad things. And why have you stopped giving review copies to EGM? Oh right, because your games were crap and for once a publication actually called you on it. You got mad, picked up your video games and went home. Classy sir, you just reached the emotional maturity of a 5 year old.
Sorry, that’s not fair. The kindergarten kids I teach are much more mature than that.

Whatever happened to Ubisoft, I have some great games by them, mind you they are aging, I like to think like wine. But ya come to think of it I havn’t bought a Ubisoft game probably in about a year or possibly even 2 years.
I believe the last game I bought by them was Lunar: Dragon Song [Nintendo DS] (I would have to check to confirm if it was the last game I bought by Ubisoft) but as I recall they pulled an Atlus and just released the game, with apperently a bad translation. I am not fully sure about that fact though as I haven’t gotten very far in the game and set it aside for play at a later date in time. (For those of you who don’t understand what that means, Atlus releases games for complanies from Japan that wont/can’t release in NA. Usually due to funds or a lack of interest. It all very fan based. For more information; look it up)
Also I wasn’t aware people still read EGM. I thought it was all up on 1up.com. Perhaps I am wrong on this for I don’t really buy many magazines anymore. $&%* You WOTC for canning Dragon and Dungeon $&%* You!
Er… wow, that’s ridiculous.
Consequently, I am now craving delicious and flaky European pastries…
