Do you want to know why? Read what people are saying. Ubi's DRM policies have caused many, many people to lose access to their games. I have at least 4 Ubi games in my Steam Library that I can't play. So ... what's that? A good $150 they owe me that I'll never see? Gee. Why would I dislike them? Because they personallyh fuked me.
okay, but that's not really what this story is about. it's about an industry that is seeing the opening salvo of an impending economic collapse.
Read what people are saying. We disagree with your perspective and feel that this issue is justly deserved by Ubi's behavior. Everyone was very, very clear about this. Our take is this is Ubi trying to hide their failure and blame it on an industry slump. So there ya go. Now you understand the article.
