So they intentionally introduced a gaping DDoS vulnerability into their software? That doesn't exactly make me feel warm and fuzzy.
The buck stops with Ubisoft, regardless of whether it's a DDoS or not. There's no good software engineering reason for the failure of one of their servers -- or even all of their servers -- to imperil all of their users, yet they decided to design their product that way anyway. That means it's their fault when the inevitable occurs. (As it would have even without the DDoS, when they decide to shut the authentication servers down if not before.)
My grandmother could have seen this coming, and my grandmother has been dead for a long time.
