Pirates provide a better service than Ubisoft, sure, but ANYONE can do that. Ubisoft aren't exactly king of the castle. When they can do it better than Valve does, they might get my attention, until then, I'm happy to pay for Steam games.

If your playing on a lan or single player you do not have to download patches and i have never installed any game to my hard drive and they run smoothly.rhizhim said:
Ofc piracy exists on consoles just if the argument is time taken is the reason to pirate games. Consoles are a better and more honest solution.
I don't have problems usually when I've been buying stuff on Steam, but the thing that annoys me the most about 'pirates do it better' is that for movies, they damn well do. Put disc in > watch film.
I got numerous blu-rays as Christmas gifts, was looking forward to watching a few but instead of putting the disc in and watching the odd warning screen, I got:
WARNING WARNING WARNING TRAILER TRAILER TRAILER...MEN- NOPE TRAILER TRAILER.
Hey here's the menu.
DVD's are the same.

Ubisoft is too blame for the Troubles of the OP, which is why i do not buy games they have touched. Same goes for anything published and/or developed by EA. Same goes for Rockstar.
I strongly disagree with their Business ethics, so i wont buy their Products. Furthermore, i'm concerned for the Security of my System and my data.
I caught some malware on my machine. I have not seen a malware that was such a ***** to get off my harddrive like the securom copy Protection software.
So i will not buy product of those Companies, i will not subject myself to anything originating from those Companies even it was legitimately for free.
If i where to pirate some Software from those Companies, uploaded by some random Person via torrent, i would be more fearful of the original copy protection still intact then getting a Virus from that random Person.

edited.Are you saying you'll play and enjoy games by this company but you won't buy them? Or are you saying you avoid everything to do with them. The latter I would be okay with but if it's the former than you are just condemning game developers to unemployment.Madman123456 said:
I'm not saying piracy is the only cause of game dev unemployment but it's a large reason why developers can't get off the ground or go under. *shakes fist in frustration*
You could always buy the product and then crack it anyway to circumvent the DRM.Laluune said:
I always avoid games if I know Ill need to register different accounts, be online all the time if I want to save in the single player and so forth. As stated above, Steam (and Origin too surprisingly) rarely have those problems though.
No service or platform is universally superior because it all comes down to your own preference and situation. Things like distance from a game-store, internet speeds and other factors that may trump one service over another. I held myself off from downloading Max Payne 3 on Steam right now because it's a whopping 30GBs. That's almost half my monthly allowance! While other games are smaller, such as The Walking Dead, some games can be a bit problematic. One service isn't inherently better than the other. Whatever works for you, works for you.
Better service, ok, I can't argue with that, but that doesn't justify doing it in the slightest.
Ok, so, let's say someone hits my sister with a car. If I call the police, they'll say "well, this is a crime, we'll put him in jail for a year", one year later, he gets out of jail, buys a new car, and hits my sister with it again! What an arsehole! Alternatively, instead of calling the police, I could have called in a favour with big Tony, and had him have a little "accident". Therefore, the Mafia provide a better service than the justice system.
Just because something's convenient doesn't make it right.

Thanks for that useless insight. Try and put reasons for your opinion next time you post.bafrali said:

Yeah, basically this.
I've never had this problem with Steam, so It's gotta be you, your computer, or Ubisoft I guess, I don't Have any of their games.
This goes for me as well. Steamdownloads are very fast for me, ranging well over 3 Mb/s on average. I've seen it hit somewhere between 5-10Mb/s at times. Games are downloaded in an hour or so.Sp3ratus said:
The only problems I have with some steamgames are the Windows Live/Gamespy stuff that some still have, which forces you to make a seperate account for those services.
