Wonderful news.
Not that I'll ever play the game, but still.. a step in the right direction.
It was only the other week I had to ring Ubisoft to get my activations revoked, which wouldn't have happened if I'd gotten the game illegally!

Not sure if this gets people to buy games though, sim2 was worse than sims 1 imo...
But it's a game which speaks more to the general public though rather than real gamers, so we'll see.

Purely because they know it would be pirated on epic levels thus showing DRM to be utterly pointless.

It is a step in the right direction 
DRM has not stopped piracy, if anything it has made it worse and so they need to do something about it. Although the new DRM proposed by Stardock sounded ok

A step in the right direction. DRM is a bad thing for those who buy legally, doesn't affect pirates...

lol serial code protection is a good time-proven solution?
Soldato
lol that used to work well.

Nothing ever stops piracy, but keys are generally linked to online accounts these days and that at least helps to limit pirates from being able to play multiplayer. I'm guessing you like DRM? Or am I wrong there?

No I hate DRM, it's just funny they're now backtracking saying serial protection works fine...
