But this time they are taking to an entirely new level of user-unfriendliness. I also know a lot of people who said they will get an "evaluation copy" before they are going "to shove money into the throat of companies that treat legal customers worse like software pirates". While I think you cannot excuse doing wrong because someone else is doing wrong, too, this shows how much damage Ubisoft is going to do to their own image and games.

With the way developers have been treating PC players lately, it really does feel like they find the entire group of us as a nuisance. I would never play a pirated game (I do have morals) but a part of me is glad that there are people out there breaking DRM and proving that these game companies are idiots.

Admittedly, with few exceptions the only games I play on the computer are my MMORPGs, but this makes the chances of me playing a game on the PC even less likely if they are also available on console. Anyway, I already know how you feel about giving money to Ubisoft, but if you do ever get the chance to give the Assassin's Creed series a shot on the Xbox, number 2 is definitely worth playing. Normally, I would always suggest playing the first installment before getting into a sequel, but AC might be the exception. AC2 is better than the original in every single way. The first one was like the reviews say: repetitive and tedious. It was a chore just to get to the end of the game, so if people prefer to just read the wikia and be done with it, I can understand. I don't like to encourage bad behavior either, so with Bioshock 2 I'm just going to wait a little and borrow it from my brother :P What are they trying to do, kill the PC game market?
