Congratulations Ubisoft, You stopped piracy .......you also stopped legitimate consumers!!!!!! I commend them on trying but they have no hope in stopping piracy.
they best way to stop piracy would be dont charge 70€ and ppl will gladly buy it... free games are hardly pirated :P but already happened lol thats the world we live in. nothing can stop human kind . hmm maybe Nibiru ?? xD
Steam is at least a service, these drms are restrictions that don't work. Why do I need to be constantly connected to the internet, how is that going to stop pirating? its going to increase it. Being on WIFI kills laptop batteries, plus your playing a game at the same time.
I stopped respecting your opinion right here. You put on a pretty good show though, for the entire thread up to this post I thought you might have known what you were talking about (despite the lack of any facts to back up your points).
Piflik, I have read that article, and you can't take that example to a be-all-end-all argument, that was a game that WAS cracked. Please give me conversion statistics for a game that has not been cracked for atleast the first few months on the market. Oh, wait.. there are no such figures? Exactly. We are dealing with…
I wouldn't mind having to be sometimes on to play. Having to be online to launch the game every time wouldn't even bother me that much, especially if it meant I didn't have to have the CD in.

I have not bought or played any PC game since they require online activation... The problem is, that you are not only a bitch to pirates, but you are a bitch to the customer... And noone will ever make a DRM that stops piracy...such a thing doesn't exist in this universe. It makes it harder to crack...maybe it even takes…
No one saw that coming? Tell me that didn't come up in a meeting? Even before I got down to Snefers post I thought, "if you can't crack, attack". This happened to Gas Powered a year ago, you even have a case to study and they still fuck it up. It makes me feel better their crack team is on the job... I'm on your side Ubi…
Snefer, I agree that we're talking 90% piracy on PC...however...a DRM that really stops pirates produces about 1 Buyer for every 1000 Pirates it hinders. Hardly worth the effort...(another Escapist article) I personally don't play pirated games, because I think games are worth the money I spend on them...if a game is not…
