@ Uber Gruber : Only a handful of possible SH5 buyers are currently aware of the problems that DRM is going to create. A majority of players will certainly buy this game on impulse, cause the pictures on the game's cover look fine, without even knowing what is a U-Boot, in fact.
Ubi would give in to boycott pressure if it was general, I mean, if and only if every possible buyer refrains from purchasing the game until it gets a patch disabling DRM.
And as even those who know what DRM is can't come to an agreement on what to do following SH5's release, I don't think a solution to this problem will be found.
