    I occasionally buy them if it's a game I really, really want. But when I do, the game remains in its plastic foil on my shelf while I install a cracked version. I see no reason why I should use a worse program than what the pirates get for free.

    Basically, if a game I'm interested in requires me to activate online (Steam DRM, Ubi DRM, etc), I get the game for free as a torrent. And if it doesn't require online activation, I buy it.

    Not everyone is like you and me though. You must always remember that most "gamers" are mindless sheeple. The vast majority of them do not exactly have any ideals or farsightedness:

    So you buy the game and approve of the restrictive DRM like the good sheeple that you are.

    Funny, I've never seen this plugin before, and I had a few Ubisoft games installed recently. Was this a new feature they added at some point?

    Also, people still use the word "sheeple"? What is this, 1990? How old are you, 13? Do you call your mom and dad "parental units" as well?

    seriously what happens to all the always online shit, it sure as hell won't be staying online

    it's not completely ineffective... the pirates' work is delayed or has to be "patched" sometimes

    fuck you too buddy

    Just rayman origins, best coop platformer ive played in years. On pc cd rom without any drm. Any other ubi games except perhaps the anno series are so shitty even drm free editions would be pointless to buy.
