Case and point, people pirate .99-$4.99 apps on the iPhone.This rule applies to anything, if people can get it for free, with no consequences, they will. If all of a sudden a large number of people were being prosecuted for pirating, it would slow to a crawl. People pirate because they can, not because of the price.

If the hackers that break Ubisoft's DRM make it able to run without internet while the store addition does need a connection then I think the gaming public is smart enough to dodge the completely inferior version.Ubisoft only hurts themselves with these attempts to lock out a legitimate consumer base. Less DRM from Ubisoft will get them more sales over time. @Philbart999: I really can’t see that happening.
