Ahhh... but the difference is that the pirates aren't passing it off as their own software.

EDIT: Oh, and two wrongs don't make a right.

Lets see, that's $180,000 per copy of our program distributed, here is the invoice for $38,024,0632,123 -- we take credit cards :p

lol. Something less demanding could possibly even pass through, too. Dunno.

Ubisoft sucks, IMO. I don't recall a game I like that Ubisoft has made/published.

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory was very good.

I've played lots of good games from Ubisoft. Prince of Persia series, Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell series, Rayman series, Myst series...

I remember X^3: Reunion shipped with Starforce in the 1.xx versions.

X'ers got pissed at Egosoft (creators) and Deep Silver/Enlight (publishers) and demanded removal. With version 2.0 and up X^3 no longer requires Starforce... Let's just say I'm not a fan of Starforce, so I picked up a copy after 2.0 came out :D
