Watch out, on Tuesday you won't be able to play some of your retail Ubisoft games

Well you just lost a lot of customers with this stunt. Piracy will always be a contentment with developers, but what about the gamers who are innocent and actually pay legally your game? Do they have to suffer as well? You are not doing yourself any favors by doing this Ubisoft. Your turning away the very customers who come to play your games because they want to play and not hack them like a 30-year-old locked in his parent's basement simply because he can't find a job that suits him!

Oh yeah, this is a real working anti-piracy method in action. Proper registered games - no sorry can't play them. Hacked pirated games - sure no problem. Another reason I wouldn't buy one of their games.
