Quite possibly the worst DRM and most ridiculous idea ever

If they see piracy as being that much of a problem and it helps them combat it and in turn achieve higher revenues then I cannot see it as being anything but an overall positive thing for PC gamers that actually pay for the content.

gamers who pay for the content will suffer too

The thing is, that usually the games with the least amount of copy protection are the ones that sell the best.

Starcraft, Warcraft 3, World of Warcraft all have near perfect DRM for online and yet they sell fantastically. The Ubisoft system is pretty similar to that.

Assassin's Creed 2 is not an online game.

Starcraft or Warcraft 3 don't stop you from playing the game (single player or LAN) if you lack an internet connection.

Honestly, all it does is promote piracy. It adds nothing to the paying customer's experience, it only screws them over, while pirates will have the real game.
