Ubisoft Considers Always-Connected DRM "A Success" [Slashdot]

[DP ServBot]

Ubisoft made headlines a couple days ago for bringing back their restrictive DRM for an upcoming racing game. Speaking with PCGamer in response to the overwhelmingly negative feedback to this news, a Ubisoft representative said the company has seen "a clear reduction in piracy of our titles which required a persistent online connection," adding, "from that point of view the requirement is a success." One wonders how they measured this, and how they compare it to sales lost due to the bad press it's generated.http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgames.slashdot.org%2Fsto ry%2F11%2F07%2F29%2F1950213%2FUbisoft-Considers-Always-Connected-DRM-A-Success%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfac ebook) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Ubisoft+Considers+Always-Connected+DRM+%22A+Success%22%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit. ly%2Fq1aCgP)
