@travelsonic People shouldn't immediately pirate games for the justification that the DRM service was crap. Ubisoft has promised (and fulfilled it) to fix it. Now, i'm okay if you pirate when you own the game already. It's just annoying when people suggest to others who are planning to buy the game to pirate it instead. This will lead to more piracy. At the end of the day, we still have the choice if we want to pirate or not.

I won't, because it is the right thing to do.

@neverfearchrisishere DRM is not lowering sales. In fact Steam, a form of DRM, is highly supported by russian gamers who most people say are pirates.

'Is this game worth going through that Cr%p again'? I would gladly put up with the delays, as long as i support the developers that made this awesome game. It isn't an excuse to illegally pirate software. Ubisoft has learned their lesson, but instead of removing DRM, they are going to improve it. Success starts with failure.

"World of Goo, has no DRM and received nothing but praise, and you know what? More than 90% of its players pirated the game."

I am wary of such claims usually out of the variables involved, and how often figures are inflated..

"DRM isn't gonna boost sales, but it isn't gonna lower it either."

If it is intrusive enough, unstable enough, crippling enough it could very well theoretically.

@vkyle52 DRM is lowering sales. Every time someone buys a ubisoft game they go 'no this Cr%p again' then, next time they see Ubisoft on the box, they think 'Is this game worth going through that Cr%p again'

Incidently, all Ubisoft games released in the last year have been cracked and uploaded to the net atleast a week before the game was released. So it's hard to see how it has reduced piracy/

[neverfearchrisishere]

Did it prevent Piracy? No. All their games are in Piratebays top100 list.

well i personally preffer the old times when a game didnt need constant internet to work, specially for those people with laptops that like to travel and dont see many internet spots, and anyways this wont stop piracy, because even if these "protection" systems cost alot of money to make, hackers have time and with enough time anything is possible

PEDO BEARRRRRRRRR

@jetkingknight I sense repressed anger LOL

[DontBelieveWotUThink]

All this does for me is mean I am not buying these games. Once upon a time I used to get pirated copies of software, or crack them myself when I had nothing better to do, but now I have access to funds (and no time or inclination to crack) I do the right thing. No protection measure is going to work for a client side application as has already been proven by other hackers. DRM just ensures that paying users are inconvenienced. The same people that didn't pay before still won't pay.
