Ubisoft Files $10M Suit Over Assassin’s Creed PC Leak

French publisher and developer Ubisoft is suing disc manufacturer Optical Experts Manufacturing (OEM), blaming the North Carolina-based company for the leak of the PC version of Assassin’s Creed onto the Internet earlier this year. Talk about waiting till you get all the facts straight. It’s been like 6 months since this happened.

According to Ubisoft, the pirated version of the game was downloaded 700,000 times, compared to retail sales of just 40,000 units. That is definitely a large quantity of pirated copies, but certainly nothing compared to the number of Couter-Strike copies that are downloaded online every day. According to a report by GameSpot, an employee was allowed to take a copy of the game home and then subsequently posted it online.

You can’t trust anyone these days can you?
