Ubisoft: 'Vast majority of PC gamers are PIRATES'

According to CEO Yves Guillemot, around five to seven per cent of free-to-play gamers on the PC platform will fork out for in-game content, a probable figure most would believe.
However, the head honcho also alleges that as for its regular PC games, only about five to seven per cent of gamers pay anyway. The vast majority apparently run pirated content.
"It's around a 93 to 95 per cent piracy rate, so it ends up at about the same percentage as free-to-play," he claimed.
The question is if those 5-7% buy Ubisoft's games because or despite their draconian DRM measures. A lot of gamers have made it clear that they will not pay for such crippled games which cause a truckload of issues affecting the entire system.
