I love Ubisoft.

The DRM for that game was cracked 2 hours after the release of the game. So I wonder, who does the DRM benefit? How many hundreds of thousands of dollars do you think was spent on the servers, programming, man hours, and so forth to implement the DRM?

When the authentication servers went down....guess who could still play the game? that's right, cracked versions.

Further proof that DRM is not only harmful to honest customers, but a waste of valuable resources and a quick way to get your core customer base pissed off in no time at all.

DRM only hurts honest customers. It's never stopped or even slowed piracy in any way. It only succeeds in irritating customers who've paid for the product, and in some cases rather famously drives them away from purchasing at all.
