Ubisoft went down the same road. Honestly, create a great game, and the people that have money will buy it anyway. If they don't have money, well it's the same as being pirated. However you don't make your real customers mad, just like they did in this case.

Cause the Game developers still dream their dream about the Game with an uncrackable Copy Protections and are ready to spent much money for that dream which will never come true biggrin.gif

I'm guessing here, but I suspect it has a lot to do with scaremongering of investors or shareholders by those who market copy-protection garbage, err, sorry, software. If several million >insert currency< has been spent or invested in a project, those ante-ing up will likely feel that their investment will garner greater return, since they are unlikely to be as clued-up on the downsides of it as we jaded gamers are. To them, a 5% spend on "protection" is worth it when the illusion they've been fed, that it will ensure maximised returns barf8bd.gif is bandied around at board-meetings.
