Because they didn't have any numbers! They don't need to inflate numbers they pulled from their ass! You're comparing actual numbers to fictional ones. Real statistics to guestimates that even the guy who said them admitted were shoddy.Jodah said:

It takes like 5 seconds to find out.
OT: I would tend to believe that they've realized that their DRM is absolute bullcrap and they want to try something different. Whether that something else will be better or worse is yet to be seen.
thanks, got it, like 3 times, less then 10 minutes after i asked, from 3 people on page 1, that weren't smug about itviolinist1129 said:
Uhhh... I don't get it. They already made the right thing with Rayman Origins for PC... why would they add even more resources to their games they already made by adding more content "MMO style"?, that seems way too risky to me and that could potentially take away some precious resources they could be spending for making new and better games.
How about you only make great games and sell them on Steam?. Sounds crazy, I know, but it could work.

Not exactly. It serves a purpose. Its like putting out highway patrollers. Do they catch everyone who speeds? Not even close. However by catching the piddly little 1% they do, it discourages others from doing it, or it discourages others from taking it to its extreme.Lunar Templar said:
Now with that said.. Ubisoft? Yeah after creating the monstrosity you have helped to inflict on the industry I say too little, too fucking late. The damage is already done. Even if you were to abandon it, It would take YEARS to regain my trust.
I got suckered into Heroes VI last year, not gonna get suckered again by any titles released by Ubisoft.
Serious Sam, I'd heard of. the name of the team behind it, not so much XDsolidsnake101023 said:Lunar Templar said:You need to go on steam and buy Serious Sam if you havent heard of it before.
So, I bought a ubisoft game-- anno 2070. Didn't realize it was ubi until it was too late. Didn't care, played anyway, love it. While the always on drm is discomforting, there are tons of integrated meta features that do not exist in other games of its style, with world events and daily events that do serve to spice up and improve game play.
I give anno 2070 a win, despite the killer drm

That line of thinking essentially shows that Ubisoft isn't going to change anytime soon. Rather than focusing on making their paying customers' experiences better, they're explaining why customers must be inconvenienced for the benefit of Ubisoft.Andy Chalk said:
Steam itself is founded on the idea that they try to provide a service superior to piracy, and Steam is a beacon of success in combating piracy and making people happy (and then there's Origin, a corrupt, perversion of the idea).
Once Ubisoft milks the Assassin's Creed franchise into oblivion, they'll have nothing left. Video games are not a charity, they're a business. But when you're a business like Ubisoft, the market could exist just fine without you. Ubisoft is not the entire video gaming market, and if you constantly piss off your customers, they're simply going to let you die.
And people who pirated the game are having the same experience as you without the "discomforting DRM" and "killer DRM". You essentially paid for those inconveniences.thiosk said:
*sniffs* I smell marketing BS here. This just sounds too much like they want to go from one form of intrusive DRM her to another, slightly different from.
