   And this is precisely why I stopped buying Ubisoft games
   Even those that don’t use this DRM scheme. Which is a pity, as I liked some of their games.

   I could understand if multiplayer games would stop working, but we’re talking about single player games which legitimate customers have payed for.

   This just goes to show why consumers need to have the right to break some digital locks. There are ways around these DRM schemes, but bill C-11 would make fixing your game illegal.

   Plus, what happens if, say, Ubisoft decides to “retire” a certain game? Players lose all their progress.

   Another reason to download the circumventions to this technology. Why be dependant on Ubisoft to play your games?

   Needless to say
   the people with pirate copies will have no such issue.
   DRM – making your product both more expensive and less functional than the pirated version. Sigh.
