WTF? Why does a discussion on DRM always result in ignorant crap about piracy?
For the umpteenth time- DRM is there to break the second hand market. Simple as that. It's got fuck all to do with piracy, because it can't stop it. It will be cracked, probably before release, just like every other hare-brained scheme before it.
Ubisoft have promised that the authentication on these games will be patched away should their servers ever go down. If they can do it, then so can the various scene groups and, let's face it, the crackers do it a damn sight faster.
Yet again, it's the consumer who actually pays for the product who suffers, not the person who downloaded it for free and got a more functional game. Absolute madness.
