If you're PC player - you're also a pirate. Says Ubisoft, not in those exact words, but almost.
In other words, their upcoming title whon't appear on PC at all, but instead PC players will be able to play some (crappy) MMOG. Why? Because their sadistic DRM had different effect than expected on not so masochistic players.
Ok, a decision is a decision, you won't develop a title for PC and that's it. Those interested in it will buy a console and if the game is good they'll also buy the game.
But practically calling me a pirate because I play games on PC is more than disgusting thing to say. I'm quoting Ubisoft's producer Sébastien Arnoult who says DRM free and piratebay are the same thing, obviously insulting all of us who enjoyed The Witcher by buying it from GOG instead from some pain-in-the-arse-DRM Ubisoft store. Not only that, he practically equalized GOG with piratebay too:

Can Ubisoft drop lower than this?

“We are giving away most of the content for free because there’s no barrier to entry. To the users that are traditionally playing the game by getting it through Pirate Bay, we said, ‘Okay, go ahead guys. This is what you’re asking for. We’ve listened to you – we’re giving you this experience. It’s easy to download, there’s no DRM that will pollute your experience.’”
