Quite possibly the worst DRM and most ridiculous idea ever

How does it promote piracy? If you can't save your game except on a server then I don't see how a pirate could have anything other than a demo.

Because in no time the pirated version will be out and the crack won't require you to be online at all times, or, in fact, won't connect to Ubi servers at all?

I have seen cracks take out copy protection but I have never seen a crack put features back in. Its far easier to rip something down, like for instance an HD -> Wii conversion than it is to build it back up. The best I can think of is spoofing the pirate save server but if it requires a unique key then its the same situation as any online authenticated game.

It's nor putting a feature back in, it's just removing the part where it connects to a server. I don't know how cracks work, so of course I don't know how it could be done, but there have been games that connected to servers for authentication (GTA4, for example), and they've all been cracked, so it's logical to expect this one will too
