Didn't EA try to pull this shit with Spore and Mass Effect?
Did Ubisoft not see what happned?!
As a gamer in rural Vermont who's connection drops all the time, allow me to speak briefly for all PC gamers when I say: FUCK YOU UBISOFT!
*ahem*
There is no sound reasoning for this. At all.

You know, actually you're right. Outside of loving the second splinter cell game online I don't know that I've ever bought a ubisoft pc game.dkuch said:
Heh, glad I didn't make a stink over it. I would have looked extra dumb.
why in God's sweet name do these people think this stuff is a good move?
The whole point to a game like that is if your net is down you can, doi, play that.
I mean jeebus what's the point anymore? I might as well be playing an MMO becuase I have to have a constant net connection to play that too.
*shakes head*
They just keep flailing this dead horse trying to trick us into thinking it's "good" for us with this trick or that trick.
I don't care if I can install the game on an infinite number of PCs and access my saves on an infinite number of PCs.
Who precisely does that appeal to?
Who has access to and is jumping around on that many freaking computers?
Last time that would have been even slightly useful to me, was when I was in a college lab.
I don't know about anyone else but I tend to be on one computer, mine, and that's it.
I don't know about the rest of you guys, and I hate to say this, but at this point I'm almost rooting for people to hack through this and break it, because it'll make the game playable in a non annoying way, because what is the point of having a game like that if it's dependent on the internet connection?

I've already commented on the PCG section of the CVG site (on the actual article) but I'd like to say two things again:
1) People will pirate MORE because of this (not that I condone it, its those fucking pricks who've brought it on the rest of us in the first place)
2) Those not willing to pirate will not buy their games
And of course, when no one buys the games and they have however many copies pirated they'll claim they can't afford to sell to the PC market.
Thanks pirates, you dumb fucking c*nts!
EDIT: Oh, and to all PC gamers I suggest emails to Ubisoft en masse and a petition. Who knows, it may even bloody work this time.

I'm not exactly having a good time with Ubisoft, it seems. I have AC and AC2 on Xbox 360, and can't play either because my 360 was stolen and I have yet to replace it. And now if I decide to get them for PC, I'm fucked over again. Ubisoft are usually awesome, but right now I really dislike them...
because the big companies like ubisoft and EA hate PC gamers because some of us pirate so they fuck us over with rediculous shit like this. and do you know who doesnt fuck PC gamers over... VALVE MOTHERFUCKERS!!!Malicious said:
Yeah and console game pirating is totally non existent huh?halo3rulzer said:
I can walk down to my local market on a Sunday and pick up next week's releases for about £10.
Not that I can even play them ofc, since modding consoles is stupid if you even want look at online modes.
What happens to the person who buys this game 3 years down the road? And ubisoft just neglects their servers? Fuck them. Unless they MAINTAIN a patch afterwards no one will be able to play it after a couple years.
And no, after Bethesda stopped supporting their DLC, I don't trust anything online from a company site. FUCK THAT.
