A spokesperson said on the official forums: ”Following the recent temporary game server outages which may have caused disruption to some Assassin’s Creed 2 players on PC only, we would like to reward your patience if you have experienced any problems by offering you some additional content - previously only available with special editions.”
This means that users will be able to get the content from the premium ‘Black Edition, although it is unclear how gamers who already bought that special addition will benefit, as they already have the content. It is rumoured however that some are being given free copies of entire games.
AC2 is the first game to utilise Ubisoft’s controversial new DRM system, which requires users to be online at all times while playing its games. The attacks on the servers are thought to be staged by hackers in protest to this new method of copyright protection.
