- ZoFreX 14y agoAnd yet the 95% enjoy a far higher quality product than the 5% that actually pay, when it comes to Ubisoft games.
- astrodust 14y agoIt could be that a lot of customers buy the boxed product, then install the warez version because it doesn't have any DRM associated with it. This doesn't clarify how they know the games are pirated. Ubisoft is one of the worst offenders lately when it comes to treating their customers like criminals. Even products bought through Steam have all kinds of added on DRM and CD-Key nonsense.
- AnIrishDuck 14y agoI refuse to buy Ubisoft products because of the DRM. I'm not going to pirate them, but I sure as hell won't do business with a company that constantly treats me like a criminal. I've already passed on several games because of this. Some game publishers believe that you can turn 1 out of 1000 pirates into paying customers [1]; it stuns me that Ubisoft ignores how invasive DRM can turn away a significant fraction of potential customers. 1. http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=17350 http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=17350
- debacle 14y agoI was speaking specifically of the F2P users. Pirates are neither users not customers.
