Servers down. Molotov Party at ubisoft? [Merged]

This gets me thinking what a realy 'bad business model' that this is, that UBI adopted.

First of all, people who see UBI as opposition (and there probably many), would encourage/turn a blind eye to attacks on UBI DRM servers.

UBI, to save money, has probably extended their IT employees duties to include the DRM servers. This could be streching their staff capabilities which will result in resignations, resulting further in lower expertise... and more DRM server downtime.

With the final result is that nobody will touch DRM games/servers. Once again UBI has shot themselves in both feet.

They seem to be going in the right direction of making games more moddable, but 1 step forward, and with DRM 2 steps backward. The pirates don't have to do a thing except sit back and watch the circus.
