PC piracy rate is over 90% says Ubisoft

[Strifehart]

^ I approve of this one.

So basically all their efforts at reducing piracy were almost 100% ineffective.

So can we please get rid of all those stupid methods so that we can start buying your games again?

[SLA~Q]

I think Ubisoft should ask Valve how their CS:GO sales are going... I think Ubisoft is gonna feel like the highschool reject.

[PatPion]

Wow, this is really scary. You would imagine much more money would then go into making it piracy-proof. If 5 times more games were sold legally, you could spend just as much money in innovative ways to stop piracy, and still make much bigger profits.

Not this crap again, didn't they make this statement a while ago? And they are still talking this garbage? Thing is, they still port Assassins Creed to PC and actually do a good job of it, often including extra content that you have to pay for on console. So if they really believed that 90% of their games are pirated why keep making PC games (besides F2P)? Maybe that's the direction they're moving in.

I dunno, thing is I really enjoy a lot of the games published by Ubisoft, the Prince of Persia series, Assasins Creed Series, Anno series and all I've played on PC. I just wish these game ip's weren't owned by such a moronic publisher, please Valve come rescue us all and buy out Ubi!

PC piracy rate is over 90% says Ubisoft

Which makes free-to-play games more profitable for the publisher

...meanwhile back at UBISOFT headquarters:

Tech: Well we've implemented anti piracy methods
Sales: Our games are not selling
PR: Piracy must be up again

[Ike_009]

Pirates only pillage cause they aren't interested in paying so you still won't get your money. Please don't destroy my gaming lifestyle.

PC has always had heavy piracy, it's only when they started looking at the sales of console games, did publishers suddenly go, but wait our PC games never sell as well, I smell pirates.

[Dragonic]

Ubisoft said so, so it must be true for all PC games...

This

Zzzzzz

Strange how the company that treats the PC market the worst is the one that complains about it the most.

This

So says the company with one of the worst forms of DRM. Why is it not surprising.

aaand this

Meanwhile they scaring people who pay for their games away \/
The end justifies the means.

These guys need to look at Valve's successful business model and adapt. Enforcing draconian style enforcement on piracy doesn't benefit anyone.
