So you thought DRM couldn't be any gayer.

No matter what you’re doing, no matter what the reason, the game will refuse to let you continue playing if it decides you’re not online. You’re dumped right back to a menu, losing any progress made since the last checkpoint. If you don’t have a constant, uninterrupted internet connection, you can’t play.


Wow Ubisoft, really? REALLY?

What kind of a world do they live in? It's like wherever they live the internet never cuts out for any reason ever. That is fan-fucking-tastic let me tell you.

not really all you console fags
we'll just play the game for free and not deal with any of this shit.

I honestly don't see why they would do this, It's as if they don't want anyone to buy the game.
though I expected this kind of shit from ubisoft.

Ubisoft is kind of gay in that effect.
Like EA, with ****ing DAO, it has to load my shit off the internet.
I don't wanna ****ing wait to load my shit off the internet.

But while we're talking about internet.

WHAT THE **** EA?!

Lately EA is alright, other then their DLC announcing and shit, but drm wise, whatever.
hell, the last few games i bought were published by ea, me2, dragon age, bc2

they likely learned their lesson with spore.

I don't think Ubisoft realizes that this shit actually contributes to piracy. This is the only reason I pirated spore, and I uninstalled it once EA got rid of the DRM. (Yeah, that's the reason. I didn't stop playing because I got bored, not at all.)

I for one like EA's new anti piracy measures, where they give some pretty neat downloadable content onlllly if you buy a new version of the game.

That way you get rewarded for purchasing the game and when you don't purchase the game (or buy a used copy or whatever) the game is just fine and there's no shitty DRM.

Which is the equivalent of sex.
