Namco applauds Ubisoft's DRM
Industry needs to do more to combat piracy
Namco Bandai has applauded Ubisoft's efforts to curb piracy with their new DRM system.
Olivier Comte, VP of Namco Bandai Partners told CVG that Ubisoft's DRM was good by virtue of being the only proper attempt to tackle the problem of piracy.
"I will be very honest," said Comte. "I think it's a good [approach] for one reason: I have no alternative today," he said. "Is it the best one? Certainly not but as of today if I can make something else I'll do it, but it's better to do something than not do something. At the moment they are doing a good strategy."
Comte does believe that the industry needs to explore more ways to tackle piracy if it is to survive.
He added: "We are analysing all of the situations. We have seen what Ubi and EA are doing, we've seen what Sony have announced for PS3 and it's clear that we need to make some choices."
