Ubisoft will be saved from piracy with the help of a blockade

No sooner had the pirates properly danced around the smelling Denuvo carcass, and Ubisoft was already thinking about using blockade to protect intellectual property.

How far will they go

So far, the publisher will limit only to the study of technology, but there are already first ideas. For example, you can use block to work with property rights for digital goods purchased by players.

"The player will finally have the opportunity to purchase real collectible digital items that will be his 100% owned and nobody will be able to copy or reproduce them," - Lidvin Sauer, head of Ubisoft Strategic Innovation Lab. So in the near future, do not be surprised if for some rare skin will be given hundreds of thousands of dollars, however, this trend is still there.

As for other Ubisoft plans, the publisher will not be limited to collecting items alone and the new technology can be applied to all downloadable content, like DLC and add-ons, and even to whole games.

"Thanks to the blockade, we can now have our own digital equivalent of Picasso. The only difference is that it's much harder to steal anything in the blockade than the real Picasso, "added Sauer.
