Michael Pachter wishes all games used DRM like Ubisoft
Wedbush Analyst Michael Pachter came out in full support on his GameTrailers.com Pach-Attack! show for Ubisoft's controversial digital right management (DRM) that is currently in use for PC games like Assassin's Creed II, Settlers 7, and Silent Hunter. The DRM requires gamers to be online at all times even during single-player portions of the game that typically wouldn't require owners to go online.
Responding to a question from a viewer who asked whether or not Ubisoft's DRM will result in reduced sales, Pachter declined to answer the question and instead voiced his support vehemently for publisher's taking any step necessary to battle piracy.
"Anything that a publisher does to make sure you don't rip off their game is their right and if you don't like it, great. Go find something else to do with your time," said Pachter. "So, do I think they made a mistake? I wish all games were like that. Because I think people who steal should be in jail. If you think that's right, good for you. We have no interest in your business since you don't pay for stuff anyway."
