I call complete bullshit on those numbers. Something is off.
DArt, you are talking about a company that used a scene cracked .exe in a patch to fix one of their games...

Yeah, I have no love for Ubisoft - but not even they can be experiencing that ridiculous level of piracy. Something is taken out of context or manipulated somehow.
Maybe if they had less idiotic DRM people would actually buy their games.
In other words, pirates gonna pirate, they ain't gonna buy. Just focus on your paying customers FFS.

The DRM is not so bad actually, it looks strange and feels silly, but you simply get used to it. But the problem is that DRM exe is still buggy although is already version 2.0.6 (uplay.exe in fact). DRM's cloudsync doesn't work as intended and they know it, but still it is active by default and if you don't disable it, your savegames vanish for good from time to time. Oh and sync process takes ages to finish even when you have only one save game with size of just a few KBs. That problem is constantly reported for ages and is still not fixed.Honestly, I would have long ago purchased HOMM VI if it wasn't for the DRM stories. As it stands, every time the game comes up for sale, I push it aside.

I dont know how current generation of children is doing but when I was 8 year old and received my first computer (C64 + tapedrive) the first thing I learned (my friend teached me) was how to pirate games.Alrik… Um… 95% of 10 year old kids are - criminals?
So in any family with 2 children at least one of them is a pirate? And there is high probability both are.
Cmon.
History shows this is a false idea.

Then I'm sure it's not right
Well, you are probably right, if you consider such a places like China and India ( where most of the population with computers and internet reside ), where a lot of people loves to play these games but none pay for them, it is probably an understatement. It might be more like 96%.

I'm not sure what they mean by "Boxed PC games"
Maybe if they had less idiotic DRM people would actually buy their games.I hope they bankrupt so that HoMM and Anno licences go to better publisher.

I used to never pirate, and now I love it.
