Before and on release date, most sales are to a minority of highly engaged gamers that then create reviews and hype. Ubisoft needs that hype as they know the majority of the profit they will make is from sales after the release when the general public reads those reviews and then decide to spend their dollar on the game because the reviews were good. Also the majority of the general public won't pirate anyway...
But once it's out it's out. I at least understand the logic of DRM from launch because it delays cracks, but once you've released without DRM it's out there lol.
Maybe the drm is so fucked that the game performance suffers too much for the reviews
I have a hard time believing most people read reviews
