Did Ubisoft pirate its own soundtrack for Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood PC?
By Andrew Webster | Last updated about an hour ago

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is finally coming to the PC later this month, after hitting consoles last November. To make amends, the publisher is releasing a digital deluxe version of the game, complete with a wide range of extras, including a copy of the game's soundtrack. The problem? It looks like that soundtrack may actually be a torrented version.

As one Reddit user discovered after preordering the game, all but one of the soundtrack's 23 songs lists the phrase "encoded by Arsa13" in its ID3 tag. A quick search reveals several uploaded versions of the AC:B soundtrack that came packed with the collector's edition of the game on various torrents, attributed to one Arsa13.

:lol: You gotta love how Ubisoft supports the community... :lol:

Sigh, bunch of pirates :P

Didnt I say I will stop supporting piracy by not buying pirated goods? Think ubisoft needs to start explaining. But Max Payne on steam also uses a cracked exe. The shame in it is why would a developer release someone elses work when they are capable of doing it themselves? It doesnt make sence to me.
