Though it recently removed its onerous always-on DRM requirements of PC games, evidently the fact people are still able to play them remains a concern for Ubisoft. That must be why the publisher shipped copies of Rocksmith in Europe without activation codes. On the other hand: Totally secure product!
Lol! That's a great sentence... Man though, that is a total facepalm moment.
Pirate Rocksmith = Play instantly
DRM = only punishes those who buy games!
Seriously though Ubisoft's PC Exclusives are pretty good. It's just Ubisoft's crappy console ports to PC division that sucks.
ghost recon future soldier, after a few patches DESTROYS the console versions
every rainbow six and ghost recon game really, all, 10x better on pc
plus, there is NO suh thing as a console to pc port, all games are made on pc, then ported to console,
even uncharted 3 was made on pc and ported to ps3, and it damn well would have looked 10x better on pc, and it will in a year or two, the emulators for ps3 are done, just need ps4 to come out for sony to not give a crap like ps2 emu's
What the hell are you saying lol? Ghost Recon is garbage on PC, Assassins Creed has a completely off control scheme, supposedly you think Uncharted was developed on PC first lol, and games aren't made only on PC, they're made on developmental kits which only work for the specific platform, hence the port option.
Apparently you don't understand how PC development and console development both work. Yep, they're done on a desktop PC, but that doesn't mean they'll run better on PC. The code is simply written on PC, but the choices they make during development are tailored toward the hardware onto which the game will be placed.

An order of magnitude(being conservative) is needed to emulate other platforms.(x10)
Expect a functional emulator with performance superior to PS3 in a mainstream PC by q4 2014 at the soonest, there are only alpha versions now.
Normally I'd dig into Ubi a bit more too, but if they're actually going to take a step back on the DRM policy (despite the code-boner they just pulled), I should ease up on them a bit. At least they're acknowledging their foul.
Still though, this is pretty funny. Unless you bought Rocksmith in Europe.
Though i'll personally care a lot more when the inevitable Steam sale happens. >.>
And yeah, plenty of people do; it's sold over a million copies.
Like said above, DRM only punishes those following the law and are supporting you.
