Ubi Soft, always online DRM

Some game reviewers in the UK were playing assassins creed when they noticed that anytime the Internet connection went out their game stopped. Unfortunately, this is not an accident. The new DRM is simple, you must be online the entire time you are playing. Ubisoft's plan is to work everything through ubi.com. You'll have to login and authenticate online to play your game, and also to access saves, which are stored remotely on their servers. If you are disconnected at any time, you will lose everything back until your last saved game and/or checkpoint. And if you don't have a connection available, your out of luck.

We'll see how this goes. Personally it seems to me like their method of fighting piracy is to irritate the people who buy legitimate copies of their games, well see if this actually prevents pirating of the game at all.

I wouldn't be surprised if it failed, and I just don't get why they don't remove it for the Steam and Impulse versions. Lets just say when it comes to the top people at UBI, don't exactly expect a bunch of great thinkers.

Oh, and you also cant resell your game.
