Ubisoft has halted sales of PC video games from its online store after hackers discovered a way to download titles without paying.
It has confirmed an unreleased game – Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon – was among the software copied from the servers running the firm’s Uplay service.
The breach was discovered after a video clip showing in-game footage was posted to YouTube.
The France-based company said its engineers were working on the problem.
“We are aware of the issue and are working to resolve it quickly,” said a spokesman.
“Uplay’s PC download service will be unavailable until the problem is fixed, but no personal information was compromised and all other Uplay services remain available.”
Piracy sites
Ubisoft launched its Uplay service in 2009, initially offering online access to its own titles but later expanding its range to include games from Electronic Arts, Square Enix, Warner Bros Interactive and others.
ウビソフトはフランスベースの会社だが脆弱性があったという。
無料でダウンロードできてしまったそうだ。
