Ubisoft's always-on digital rights management solution, dubbed the "Online Services Network," has apparently been circumvented by hackers. News of its arrival on peer-to-peer file-sharing networks began circulating in places like social-news site Reddit Wednesday morning.The DRM, which now ships with every new PC game made by Ubisoft, requires that gamers have a constant connection to the Internet in order to play their games. The security feature caused a large backlash by users for its inclusion in Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed 2 title, which was released last month.The hack itself removes the DRM entirely and is being claimed by a consortium known as Skid Row. It requires users to download and install a modified version of the game's executable file to their computers. These modified game files, alongside a crack that can be applied to a retail version of the game, were uploaded to various file-sharing sites late Tuesday evening.
I thought it was cracked a while back, like within a week of release....Doesn't surprise me that Skid Row cracked it. I have used a lot of high quality cracks made by them over the years, for both legit and non-legit games

I have used a lot of high quality cracks made by them over the years, for both legit and non-legit games it wasn't cracked, they were using offline servers to simulate connecting to the Ubi servers.
