Apologies for my bad Deutsch.

I think the dream will soon become reality. With such a large drop in such a short time, their stock value is nearing bankruptcy territory.

They have nobody to blame but themselves really

Edit: Just noticed that the drop in shares starts when Ubi started introducing the DRM into nearly all of their games. Coincidence? I think not

I agree. They burned their customers one too many times. Plus the world is currently gripped in an economic depression. There is much less discretionary spending money available to spend on video games and such.

What annoys me is why don't they listen to what their customers want, and treat them with highest respect, games are supposed to fun, enjoyable to their customers/buyers.

They are actually punishing the paying customers for piracy, go figure!

Ubisoft will lay blame on piracy. Never on themselves.

Once again a producer becomes so big they loose touch with the 'players' and begin to listen to the coorprate lawyers... its all down hill at that point.

Shame.... ah for the days of dynamix.

But not "Too big to fail".

^^ Yeah, there are indie developers that make so much less on their games, who can take the time to communicate one-on-one with their customers. I respect that, and I spread the word about those companies. This one's for Cliffski >> (POSITECH GAMES RULES)
