And Ubisoft thought it's a success...

Ubisoft see the DRM as a success. Speaking to us earlier today, a Ubisoft representative admitted that the developer has seen “a clear reduction in piracy of our titles which required a persistent online connection, and from that point of view the requirement is a success”.

This I don't get. I mean I bet you it'll be up on Pirate Bay just as fast as any other game with crack and all. How does it really reduce piracy when the pirates never touch the DRM? It's all done for them by some hacker.

Go for the simplest explanation: The games weren't good enough to be worth pirating, so piracy decreased regardless of the DRM.

Or simply, scapegoat.
