really seriously think that they (Ubisoft) will direct people to a third-party site to acquire a program (i.e.: hack) designed to disable the software that Ubisoft themselves supposedly implemented to prevent piracy in the first place?!? C'mon...get real.
"Costly" is not just a measure of immediate cost anyway. Not in business. It would not be a matter of just pointing customers to another site to get the DRM removed, since doing so would negate the supposed "protection" of the DRM that they have installed in the newer titles (and I guarantee you that DRM system was very costly to produce, which is why you will see it in everything they publish, so as to spread out the R&D costs). From a security standpoint, that would also be about the most asinine thing that they could do, since Ubi would have no control over what additional hacks or content that third party site could conceivably offer. The cheapest thing for them to do is to just let the older titles slowly die out and fade away...thus they do not need to do anything at all, and they do not have to concern themselves with additional hacks or damage to their more recent titles that sending thier customer base to a third-party site would or could cause.
