In a nutshell, the previously console-exclusive title "I Am Alive" will now be coming to the PC this September. For $14.99, I might buy it, but I'm still irked with Ubisoft after how they called 90+% of PC gamers pirates and how their software service got screwed up not too long ago (so my purchase also leans on whether the Steam version will require their bloatware). This release feels like a backpedal on their former statement about PC gamers. Sadly, it'll probably work because I'm sure enough people will publicly praise them for bringing the game to the PC.

 
Looks pretty interesting. I might buy it since I'm a PC gamer.
No, since you're a PC gamer, you should pirate it, because Ubisoft says most of us are pirates! That's how this works, right?

 
Haha yeah, that's a good point...

Ironically, most of the UbiSoft piracy is caused by their asinine anti-piracy measures. So yeah, first turn PC gamers into pirates and then blame them for bad sales. Ingenious.

 
Ubisofts business plan:

1. Blame pirates for bad sales

2. Release game plagued with "anti-piracy measures", which only affect the legal consumer

3. Game gets pirated because of said anti-piracy measures

4. Blame piracy for bad sales

5. Repeat for endless loss of sales
