Ubisoft Considers Always-Connected DRM "A Success"

Ubisoft made headlines a couple days ago for bringing back their restrictive DRM for an upcoming racing game. Speaking with PCGamer in response to the overwhelmingly negative feedback to this news, a Ubisoft representative said the company has seen "a clear reduction in piracy of our titles which required a persistent online connection," adding, "from that point of view the requirement is a success." One wonders how they measured this, and how they compare it to sales lost due to the bad press it's generated.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on buying every game that they make.
Even if they're not fun
The corporations have won
They own everyone who is alive.
