Having a constant online connection to play a game is so lame, one of the reasons why I hate Steam. My school's connection blocks Steam, so that pretty much destroys my entire Steam collection. If Ubisoft really did go done the no off-line mode route then I don't feel sorry for them, at all. That's just begging hackers to tear up your game.

It is possible to use Steam offline, though I'm unsure if you can always stay offline or if you do really need to go online to do certain things (or at least with non Valve games). However, I agree that it sucks when a school or university blocks games. While I was living in a campus dorm, the only other non-World of Warcraft games that would work online were Valve games (ie: Counter-Strike and TFC). Battlefield 2, Diablo 2 and a number of other games became worthless to me for a year.
