Not sure how those developers measured piracy in general.

But piracy is naturally increased by limiting legal sources for buying something. Other developers commented on this very issue, saying that existing DRM increased piracy.

> The new Assassins Creed has been pirated Zero times because they made the DRM as invasive as possible.

It was also not bought by people who see this obtrusive nonsense which drains CPU resources and degrades performance as something to avoid. In the end, they only lost sales. I wouldn't call Ubisoft or any other legacy publisher rational. Rather irrational control freaks.

Besides, Ubisoft's DRM will be broken, same as all others.

Where did you get data that DRM prevented lost sales? It's vaporware. Your link doesn't show in any way, that if they'd have released it DRM free, they wouldn't have more sales in result.

It's boring that you support anti-user methodology like DRM and try to justify it. It's been debunked multiple times.
