Ubisoft, are Ukidding?

<< < (2/2)

Kelmola:
It was essentially funny that the backdoor used IE to launch a game (wtf, why not launch the exe directly?), and this was the cause for vulnerability; the backdoor was so badly coded that you could instruct it to launch ANY program (probably bypassing non-admin user rights and UAC too) from ANY browser you used; Firefox, Chrome and Opera were not safe, and this again proves that choosing to "uninstall" IE from WinXP/Vista/7 just removes the shortcut. Also, if I understood correctly, this was possible even if you had disabled scripting, used NoScript, etc.

If you downloaded a cracked version from the haven of them buccaneers (which the local ISP supposedly "blocked" due to district court issuing a ban that's against EU regulations, well all torrent search engines find those torrents too and since they have used magnet links instead of torrents since the beginning of this year...), you were not bothered by the demand for constant net connection, nor by this sloppily coded backdoor. Another proof that warez is more customer-friendly, the way it shoud be... wait, what?

Zoologic:
Ah, you took a bite to realise it, ey?

I've been avoiding Ubisoft for a long time, despite them releasing many interesting titles for uber nerds (LOMAC, Il-2, etc). Of all big game publishers, they are the worst in terms of how they treat the customers. They think all people out there are pirates and criminals, including those who pays them legally.

So, anyone still thinks EA is the worst? Are you kidding me? Apart from their endless ripping DLCs, they are doing just fine IMO.

cannonfodder:
Whether it's a lack of quality control or just incompetent programmers, it's bloody poor form on Ubisoft's part.

They may have updated the plug-in, but I don't trust 'em, so I've disabled the plug-ins ("UPlay PC" and "UPlay PC Hub Plug-in" in Firefox)...and the online crap in-game still works.
