The myth of Piracy and its impact is an excuse companies like Ubisoft cling to so they can explain away why their sales are not what they expect or promised on that AAA title. It stops those ugly questions of why did you release such a poorly designed and/or buggy game, why is the game lacking any depth and fails to deliver on the marketing. Why is have you not fixed the design flaws and other problems from SH3 in SH4. Why is this full priced game nothing more than a minor expansion pack?
Very good points TB!!

Wonder were they will put their excuses when they realize the failiure of this system. If SH5 with this DRM gets more sales than SH3, that will be due to wider marketing, not due to less pirates. And I bet that, with most modders walking away from it, the long term sales won't be by far as productive as SH3/4.

BTW:

10:08 Am GMT+1 and UBI has lost already 38.200$ in SH5 sales

And what's more important, the % of potential customers angry with this all and not willing to purchase with this copy system has grown already to 89.25%
