There is only one reason I can see. To destroy PC Gaming

It's something I and a lot of others have believed for a while now. Margins in console gaming are higher, piracy in console gaming is lower, technical manipulation of users in console gaming is easier (generally I would suggest PC gamers are more technically savvy and aware of what their PC is doing). PC gamers have generally been more vocal and demanding.
So why not just wipe out PC gaming and focus on consoles? I honestly believe some games companies want that, they wont say it, but there is no other explanation for systems like this DRM.

Ubisoft DRM (Or how to make sure I never buy your product again)

I don't think these companies realize they're encouraging piracy.

Yep. I have been unable to understand the company reasoning behind such systems.

That doesn't make any sense.

So the crux of your explanation is that simply ceasing to publish PC games creates bad press.

Well, we have two options: the first is going to require that we kill you.

PC games should just drop all DRM measures or go with Steamworks.

Don't get me started on Steam again, it's just as insiduous as other DRM 'solutions'.

I might resist more if I weren't a Valve game fan, but it's a pretty solid service.

Steam has managed to reach a balance where it offers something

Agree on the functionality complaints, disagree on the ownership bit.

Yeah, I rarely replay old games.
