To the OP, Pirates had the game...ahem..."adapted" within 24 hours of release with the 1.1 patch. Say Ubi decides to make a 1.2 patch. That takes time to develop, so the honest gamer has to wait for that patch just like the pirate. I really don't think the pirates out there are going to die if the pirate patch takes another week. In your scenario I fail to see how the pirates lose.

Piracy is having a massive impact on getting PC games funded and green-lit (approved for production)

Also if this statement is fact, where's the proof?
