DRM isnt killing pc gaming, piracy is.

Piracy is whats killing pc gaming. UnknownElement4

Ironically enough, the only people who aren't bothered by DRM are pirates. Or alternatively, people who buy the game and then crack it. But the pirates get the best deal since they get the game free and don't have to deal with absolute BS like this.

Piracy is not killing PC gaming. But DRM on the other hand is doing a great job stopping me from buying games.

People who delusionally thinks raging at piracy is of any use to anything or anyone and thinks companies are entitled to do what they want with legit customers as long as it's labelled "counter-piracy measure" isn't helping either.

I'm sorry but whilst it's easy to pirate software on PC, it can't be used as an excuse for lack of sales etc, as its ALMOST as easy to pirate games on a 360, yet they still sell quite well. Something else is up here.WAJ

not saying i'm hyping for the game... but i don't see what the big deal is with the DRM. most of us have internet on ALL THE TIME anyway. companies are entitled to protect their properties, regardless of what the measures are and how they are implemented. unlike the pirates and their acolytes, Ubisoft is not doing anything wrong or illegal.

Guys, there is a sticky already. We don't need a new topic on this.
