Ubisoft: 'Vast majority of PC gamers are PIRATES'

PC gaming is not in that much trouble

Ubisoft might be in trouble in the PC market but it is not a true reflection of the PC market as a whole. I have not bought legally or obtained a pirate copy of any of ubisoft games in years so I can't comment about how bad or good their DRM is. TBH they have not produced any games I really needed to play. What I do play is WoW (not as regularly as I used to because it is in a bit of wind down until next expansion) which is always online, a premium to buy on first release and monthly subscription. I play Diablo 3 (don't flame as I enjoy it and DRM a part from first few days has not been a problem, also one off payment for the game and it is likely to be patched regularly for years to come). I have a lot of Steam games (never had a problem with them and most bought on sale on Indie Bundles). The final game I play is League of Legends which is free to play and enjoy a lot. New champs can be bought for ££ or in game currency which you earn through playing. Skins are cosmetic and make no difference to the game. I spend about £10-20 every few months to support the game I like.

So WoW has 9.1 million legal accounts, Diablo 3 sold 10 million copies, LoL has millions of daily players. Steam has sold bucket loads of game. Doesn't look too bad to me
