Should I cry now?
If people voluntarily buy such software, then it's just fair deal that they get what they asked for. So now play it the way UBI wants you to play.
And the DRM method being safe from hackers, well, gentleman, ehem - you all are grown up, aren'T you? At least old enough to know it better?!
UBI said that in the very unlikely, very unplanned for scenario that in the future they would want to close down their DRM servers, they could release patches then, removing the DRM from people'S copies of the games so that they can run them without needing to be online.
What that means, is simple. If UBI can make such patches, then hackers can, too - just much earlier.
