According to new findings, Ubisoft’s draconian DRM system is even worse than we thought. The company has received heavy criticism for the limitation it puts on PC players, like having a constant Internet connection in order to play offline games. Now, it appears that the DRM software also monitors your hardware changes, and if any major changes are made, the game won’t run. Those changes could include a simple graphics card upgrade.

PC enthusiast site Guru3D found out that if you swapped your graphics card, Anno 2070 would no longer run and would refuse to be installed on the system. We dunno about you, but this is definitely taking it too far.
