From Dust Apparently Has Ubisoft's Always On DRM Despite Pre Release Claims That It Wont


Ubisoft screwed up big time here. Reports are surfacing that Ubisoft's god game lite/puzzle game From Dust which released on Steam yesterday has Ubisoft's dreaded always on DRM. You'll need to play the game connected to the internet(despite it being a single player game). Ubisoft claimed that From Dust would require a one time online activation prior to release... and the product page for From Dust confirmed this. But customers have been reporting that the game boots them out when there is no internet connection. The problem doesn't stop there though. Customers are also complaining that the game is a bad port with anti aliasing not working despite being there in the options. Steam has starting offering refunds for customers who aren't happy with the game. I just bought the game yesterday and haven't finished downloading it. I'll be checking it out today... but if you have a low tolerance for a bad console port, you might want to hold on to your money until they have 'finished' porting the game proper for the PC.
