Pirast rääkides on siin üsna asjalik analüüs: http://blog.wolfire.com/2010/05/Another-view-of-game-piracy

"iPhone game developers have also found that around 80% of their users are running pirated copies of their game (using jailbroken phones)"
" I did a bit more research and found that my intuition was correct -- only 5% of iPhones in the US are jailbroken. [3] World-wide, the jailbreak statistics are highest in poor countries -- but, unsurprisingly, iPhones are also much less common there. The highest estimate I've seen is that 10% of worldwide iPhones are jailbroken. Given that there are so few jailbroken phones, how can we explain that 80% of game copies are pirated?"
"The answer is simple -- the average pirate downloads a lot more games than the average customer buys. This means that even though games see that 80% of their copies are pirated, only 10% of their potential customers are pirates, which means they are losing at most 10% of their sales"

Õigem pealkiri oleks, et keerab just kraanid lahti. +Kannatab legaalne kasutaja. Oman mänge mis antud koopiakaitset kasutab ja aeg-ajalt juhtub ikka, et salvestatud mängud(save game'id) kaovad ära + juhtub ka seda et server on maas ja mäng ei käivitu. Esmase probleemi saab lahendada nii, et termineerid seivide üleslaadimise UBI cloudi, UBI launcheri alt. <- See on kasulik siis, kui sa enda salvestatud mängudele mõnest teisest arvutist ligipääsu ei vaja. Teise probleemi vastumeetmeks oleks siis (censored)

Ubisoft scales back 'always on' DRM for some titles
TechSpot

Spoiler

tsitaat:

Ubisoft caught some serious flak from the gaming community last year over its controversial DRM scheme, which saw some of its titles requiring constant authentication with the company’s servers in order to play them – even in single player mode. Even more so gamers were up in arms when those servers inevitably crashed and kept many customers from playing legally purchased copies of games such as Assassin's Creed 2 and Silent Hunter 5. Acknowledging these concerns Ubisfot scrapped the system for the release of the PC version of real-time strategy game RUSE, developed by Eugen Systems, and now it seems that they are taking some retroactive steps to scale back their anti-piracy system and make it less annoying. Although Ubisoft has not issued an official announcement, users began noticing that a constant and uninterrupted online connection was no longer necessary in Assassin's Creed 2 and Splinter Cell: Conviction after a patch was deployed over the holiday week. We’ll see if other of their PC titles follow suit. Users are still required to have an Internet connection to authenticate when the game boots, though. Ubisoft had previously stated that its DRM would still be used most of its in-house PC games, so we’re not sure of they’re backing down on their plans or simply lowering restrictions on games that pass a certain age, as TheSixthAxis suggests.

DRM on tagasi. Uus Driver vajab PCl konstantset netiühendust.

See mäng jääb mul nagunii vahele, aga kui uus Assassins Creed tuleb ka selle DRM'iga, siis on ikka pahasti küll! Siiani meeles milline oli Assassins Creed 2 launchi ajal ja veel mitu, mitu kuud peale launchi!
