Absurdly, as someone who doesn’t object to paying for good games, they’ve created a persuasive reason for me to seek out a cracked version of this one.

A word To UBI : a game like Witcher sold a lot WITHOUT any Protection to annoy the legal customer BECAUSE making a GOOD game will make people Support and buy the game to Support the developers because they want them to make other GOOD games. I have even seen pirates who pirated Games and then bought certain games because it was REALLY good and they felt that the developers need support for such AWESOME product.

So UBISOFT Your attitude with this DRM wont prevent PIRACY but it WILL INCREASE PIRACY because the pirated game is a lot easier to install and play while the one who owns the Original game and payed his money is F!@#ed because of the DRM. ( alot of people i know ~ 30 people who used to buy every game they got simply swore an oath not to pay UBI any money and they buy any other company games BUT UBI ONLY they pirate )

I DONT KNOW WHY THIS IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND for UBI that DRM is damaging them.

Well, i havent bought an ubisoft game since assassins creed 2. Ubisoft has long since lost me as a PAYING customer. I still have all their games though LOL.

and now we find out ‘oh by the way this is 3 use only’, i’m currently trouble shooting my systems for faulty hardware,(multiple video cards in and out…

So effectively i bought a game i can only USE ONCE!!! that is not worth $120, UBISOFT need to advertise that their games have a limited number of uses, should bring this up with the ACCC, as misrepresentation of sales

We are not buying a license to use software we are now just buying the option to INSTALL it THREE times

Sadly it’s true, a boycott will only make them shrug and assume the PC market isn’t worth it. The suits who run companies like these have no clue and I feel sorry for developers like Blue Byte who have their reputation and sales tarnished by association.

Regarding their shareholders, they won’t have any when they go bankrupt and shut down because of this insane commitment to DRM.

Don’t give Ubisoft any of your money. I bought a few Ubisoft games on steam, but I’m done. No more Ubisoft until they abandon such rediculous abuses of their paying customers.
