Dillema ?!

Here what's it is strange for me. Ubi pours budget in and create ....well ...average Prince Of Persia game, "milk" what it can from the console market (2.2 million worldwide copies are not a record figure but i think it's a good number of overall copies for a 3 months time span, after all. And let's not forget - the game is still in store shelves and digital distribution systems, so it's fair to assume that they are still accumulating some money from it, even if it is after the game's "peak moment of glory"), and then releasing it almost 3 months later, DRM free to the PC market, not marketing this "feature" in any way possible and known, and masking all of this,as a sign of "good faith". Then what they do is cutting out the PC player, from the DLC, of their average PoP game, collect again some more money from selling it (not disclosing how much) and then that's that. Up until 4 to 5 months back, here at my country the game was still a full price. Now it's cut down to 15 Euro. Should or would someone that already has the game, be recompensing somebody that doesn't have it to buy it (for PC)? I highly doubt it.
And now, on the other side, just year after that case, we have totally bipolar decisions from UBI... personally i think that they are just making excuses, based on a events from a year past, and in that way justifying anything they do with the DRM, while seamlessly preserve maximum potential buys now WITH a full DLC content, on once again 3 to 4 (or maybe more) late game.

So once again? Should i as a,where is my motivation (mostly) as a PC gamer (i have PS3 and BOX360 also, but only for the exclusives) to buy AC2?
