    The irony when a game about *cool* "hackers" gets hacked...

    I guess it includes uncompressed assets like audio, video, textures.

    What mere mortal would want to download 560GB of assets and code? Don't worry about links (I know its for legal reasons).
    If the cracked version performs better it's just one more reason to not buy the game, DRM hurts more costumers than piracy.

    Well, technically, it would be a goldmine for people wanting to mod the game. I'm sure that the people who wanted to mod in the E3 visuals into Watch Dogs 1 would have liked it. xd

    I always wonder how nobody notices 560 GB being downloaded. I bet the admins are havin fun discussions right now with their superiors

    Come to think about it, hackers must had broke into server, because it is not usual practice for developer to get all the code and data on personal work computer. (We at work never get whole and all branches from source code repository even though our whole repository is much smaller comparing to 560 GB.)

    wouldnt this be the definitive test on whether these crazy DRM schemes harm performance? this will allow modders to completely remove it rather than bypass it or take the publisher's word for it supposedly being removed completely as has been the case before

    Accordingly, Ubisoft does not have to pay a ransom to decrypt data, as the data is open source now. o_O
    Optimize it!

    Game's not multiplayer, no? So cheats are not really an issue to another's gamplay?
