Ubisoft Drops StarForce DRM

"Earlier this week, we mentioned that Ubisoft was dropping malware/software copy protection company Starforce. What began with their decision to drop Starforce from Heroes of Might and Magic V, ended when game software maker Ubisoft confirmed to 1UP today that it has reached a decision to find another copy protection software solution.

When questioned Ubisoft representatives told 1UP, 'Right now, Ubisoft has decided to use an alternative copy protection system to Starforce for upcoming releases and we are investigating other possible steps at this time.' But why the change now?"
