Damn, who will I get my terrible console ports with invasive DRM from now? Oh wait, no where because I have never bought a Ubisoft game for my PC and never plan to. Go away Ubisoft.

Fuck you too Ubi.

I decided yesterday that I'm never buying your stuff again.

Now, I might as well pirate all your stuff.
You treat me like a pirate, I might as well act like one

Well it's gotten significantly easier to pirate console games this generation. You never know, it's likely to go that route on top of used games.

*The following statement is not directed at you*

The ignorance in this thread is mind blowing.

I'm not really surprised. Most of the people I know torrent and I am sure that a huge amount of people torrent PC games. They sure do lose a ton of money to pirates. A lot. So, yeah. I guess that is what happens.
Judging by the reactions in this thread, a lot of people don't pirate. There isn't an efficient way of finding out how many people do it, and it's even more impossible to calculate how many of them would buy the game if they had to, they're just pirating for teh lulz, or any other reason.

Meh, it was pretty easy to pirate games even in the PS1 era. £10 to chip a PS1 and there was a group of guys in the town market who sold pirated games for a fiver each. Sure, you were still paying money (which you weren't with the PC), but drastically less than you would even buying used and in this instance, the money wasn't even going to retailers. It went to a bunch of guys selling stuff out of the back of a truck.

Okay, I know that Piracy is a legitimate problem, but this is not how it should be handled. I'm not saying I know the way to fix it, but I'd rather try than eliminate an entire group of people. I think that this is also Very much overreacting (Ie. Look at Skyrim's Sales: 7 million in two days I think?)
To bad, I liked their games too.

It's okay, I lost faith in ubisoft after their douchebag level of support for Vegas 2. Dumped it in the market, "Here's your game. No, we don't do updates, and no, we don't do troubleshooting." Considering the number of bugs in the game, I felt bad wasting the $10 on that shoddy piece of software. I haven't bought an ubisoft game since. This just solidifies the deal.

Well specifically I mean that torrents and the internet in general has made it easier than before, now making it free as well. Some of the biggest console titles this year were all leaked and torrented well in advance of their official release time.

PC piracy is what people talk about, everyone ignores console piracy either because it occurs less or because people refuse to believe it's possible. But given the nature of the industry right now, I wouldn't be surprised if they started incurring the same DRM methods for PC games on console games.

Wow, this is a passive-aggressive dick move on the part of Ubisoft, but they have a point. The truly scary thing is that this seems to signal an end to big publishers putting out PC games. Still, the best PC game ever IMHO was made by an indie developer (Mount & Blade, developed by Taleworlds), perhaps the departure of the big boys will help foster a renaissance of sorts for PC gaming.

Wow. I made this exact same post yesterday... Ubisoft are becoming predictable.
I know. I thought it was the exact same thread for a second. Especially when I saw your awesome GIF again.

Do you have any fucking idea how premium pricing actually works? Like, does the concept work in your brain, or do you just do it to troll?
It would seem you weren't initially being sarcastic, then. I weep for the world.

Do you know why I use piratebay.org? Because of assholes like you and EA and Bioware putting less, and less efforts into your games and I am not willing to pay $60 per-annual sequal. The Madden Effect/CoD effect has killed creativity and the greed companies like Ubi and EA display drive me to Pirate Bay games before I buy them.
Advocating piracy is against the Terms of Service of the Escapist forums.

I personally have no problem with intrusive DRMs. But are they effective at curbing piracy. From what i know of, just about every drm has been cracked.

Best way to get me to head to pirating is to make me feel cheated, but since I have the common sense just not to buy your shit games, I don't have too.

I was going to buy Assasin's Creed Revelations, but I might as well FUCKING pirate it, even though it will be my first pirated game since APPARENTLY I'm expected to not give you money. Fuck off Ubisoft, I found a new boyfriend and his name is Frictional Games. And they don't put dragon shit into their games.

Until you have to activate a 20 digit code, wait about a hour for it to update self and then about 30 more minutes so that you can play online, even though its possible your code doesn't work, then you have to drop 10 MORE dollars to play online, wait for THAT to verify.

Honestly, DRM sucks in all cases, wether for the particular title doesn't affect you, there is a DRM heavy game on console selling billions.

Makes sense, actually. Indie Games are the only force that actually pushes things of good quality into the mouthes of hungry gamers. I don't think they'll step ENTIRELY out, but Ubisoft will probably make a game in the coming years just for the PC over the fact that they want more money.

Not sure if flame bait or ignorant moron. /fry-stare
Try light-hearted sarcasm. I know darn well that PC gamers bathe in kerosene for enough hours of the day to be lit up like bonfire whenever someone even mutters a negative word of their chosen gaming platform.

so to be clear: hurr jk guise

I never even knew ghost recon was on the PC....
I've only ever seen it on consoles....
I mean, sure, there's the Rainbow 6, and such, which are -basically- the same thing anyway, but, really...?
95% of PC gamers are pirates...?
That's a bit harsh...

I would join in and say boycott Ubisoft, but, if only for Assassins Creed, I can't...
