Ubisoft sues over Assassin's Creed leak
Ubisoft's hit action game Assassin's Creed was released on the PC in April, but in appropriately Altair-like fashion, a pirated version of the game sneaked onto the Internet two months earlier. Obviously unhappy with the leak, the publisher has decided to take the matter to court and make someone pay. Last month, Ubisoft filed suit against Charlotte, North Carolina-based Optical Experts Manufacturing, the company that it had contracted to reproduce copies of the game disc. The publisher alleges that "an extraordinary breach of trust and gross negligence" on the part of OEM allowed one of the company's employees to take a copy of the game home early and post it on the Internet in late February, six weeks before the game arrived in stores. The publisher alleges that OEM had agreed to abide by--and
thereafter ignored--an array of security procedures that could have
prevented the leak. Ubisoft further alleges that OEM admitted to not
following through on its security commitments and causing the leak. One
such security procedure was to prevent copies of the game from ever
leaving OEM's premises. For the full story, click here! Posted at 01:12PM Aug 07, 2008 by Kevin P McAuliffe in Inform | Comments[0]
