If you're a UK Steam user, you may have noticed that a search for Silent Hunter V and Assassin's Creed II bring up a whole mess of nothing on the system in terms of actual game downloads.
CVG earlier reported that this was due to Steam pulling the two DRM'd Ubisoft titles from its servers. The report quoted a "PC games industry insider" stating that the reason for the removal of the games was "the latest in the Ubisoft DRM blow-up. Steam doesn't want to lose its reputation for customer service, and these games have angered its user-base."
Ubisoft begs to differ, offering the following statement, "The games listed are available for sale in all other countries on STEAM. The fact it is not available on STEAM UK has nothing to do with the DRM but is linked to a local business discussion between Ubisoft and Steam in UK."
So, just UK Steam issues?
