How much would publishers/developers save themselves by just ditching the whole DRM and anti piracy malarky?
Seriously it isn't accomplishing a hell of a lot besides pissing off their actual customers and costing them money, especially Ubisoft who have to run 24/7 online servers for the legit customers.
Stick with the whole cd key thing which is about as complex as it needs to be, we already know most crackers bypass even the most draconian DRM in a matter of days/weeks after release.
