I gain nothing from this particular DRM:
I've got plenty of other games where I have to insert the disc to play.
I have only one gaming PC.
I have plenty of hard drive space to save games locally.

I have no interest in buying into DRM that does not provide a single benefit to me, while placing additional limitations upon me.

Constantly connected to the internet? Yeah, I am... most of the time... until Roadrunner goes out, my router acts up, cat chews on the ethernet cable.

God forbid I go wireless with my desktop, as I have in the past. A few dropped packets? Pop, I'm out of my game 'cause Ubisoft can't reach me.

I realize the EULA states I only bought a license to play, and I have not purchased the game itself. As a result, there are limitations placed on the license. Well, I don't like those limitations. Unfortunately, unlike most contracts, I can't negotiate for a EULA without those limitations. Guess I won't be entering into that contract.

Congratulations, Ubisoft. Your implementation of DRM has taken my die-hard "Gotta *HAVE* SH5 when it comes out" attitude and converted it into a "I'll pass, thank you very much". Add one more reason a niche-market game can have to bomb.
