Steam Offering Refund For Ever Sold Copy of From Dust Lo-PingSteam Offering Refund For Ever Sold Copy of From Dust
Ubisoft’s God game From Dust is has been available for less than 24 hours but its purchasers are already being refunded by online distribution giant Steam after a breach of terms by Ubisoft.
The publisher stated that there would be no DRM with the game other than a one-time-activation. However this seems to have turned out to be a big fat lie as the inclusion of metapoint service Uplay demands DRM. Meaning the user would always have to be connected to the internet to log in to Ubisoft’s and play the game
If you purchased the game through Steam, you can request a refund by contacting support here and state your unhappiness with the forced DRM added by Ubisoft. It can take a while for a reply so please be patient.
What’s your take on DRM? Is it a suitable countermeasure to videogame piracy or should companies look for other ways of dealing with it which won’t hurt the paying customers. Let us know in the comment section below.

Valve is not refunding
couldnt get a refund here, either.
pretty pissed off.
I smell class action.
But, seriously, if you're going to put other DRM in the game, be up-front about it. Dont pull stupid $#@! like this, as it makes you look worse as a company. But, it's Ubisoft, I don't think they can really go any lower.
