If my money was on the line with reference to a major investment, I certainly would take all reasonable and necessary steps to insure my investment, and I believe likewise all members here share this same view.

Ubisoft is taking these measures only because they were forced to.

While I can see the point you are making, I offer a contrary point:

What happens to your business if you feel the only viable strategy is to implement measures your customers absolutely will not accept?

Seems to me you are acknowledging that you are unable to develop a strategy that allows you to remain viable, as a significant drop in sales due to your 'solution' means your chosen medicine is as bad, if not worse, than the disease.

[As an aside, I recommend you avoid statements such as I believe likewise all members here share this same view. People here never have the same view on anything; claiming otherwise is either naiive or arrogant.]
