My concerns...
It's all ON-LINE... Very bad for client game ownership - nothing beats a CD at the moment. This is just another method of working the clients bank account over when they want too. It's also probably an indication that UBI is having problems with their developer staff - they cannot seem to keep them ??. Not that new ideas are bad, but non-sensical ideas that do not cultivate client 'loyalty'.
That being said, as I mentioned before.. it opens the door for other private developers to provide a better product.
