This is not a good thing.

What happens to a game that requires internet connection to either register, or play, if the manufacturer goes out of business?

Ubisoft LOST money last year.
Ubisoft stock is DOWN.
Ubisoft sales are DOWN 50%.

Here is one example (They aren't hard to find):

This was a fear I had of StarForce going under, and my trying to figure out how to install SH3 on any new computer replacement.

I don't think it's a good idé to pay hard earned money for something one does not own.
