I'm finding it EXTREMELY hard to believe that the rate is even close to that high


Um people pirate Ubisoft games because of their horrible DRM.

A year ago Ubisoft was saying how awesome their DRM was working.

Every month I hear about people can't play their games because Ubi is moving servers, or they are just straight up offline.

I think you are an idiot if you don't pirate Ubisoft games personally, they don't give a fuck about catering to the consumer so why give them money?

That's different and you know it. If the perceived value is almost nothing, $1 in this case, then you can easily look past the hoops you have to jump through.

and there were many, took 3 tries to download, one of the times, it was missing part 7 of 11 (it downloaded in 13 files as opposed to one) it was EXTREMEMLY frustrating, then when i downloaded their Uplay shit, my game didn't ever show up there until i launched the game through my windows explorer. super convoluted and horrible system.

and ofc i know that's different, I wish these companies would just put their shit on steam.

All of Ubisofts games are available on Steam, but Valve takes a 30% cut from games sold there.

Things like Uplay and Origin exist because Publishers want a larger cut of the profits.
