This had better be the most amazing hack-proof DRM concieved up to this point in PC gaming, or UBI are going to look amazingly stupid over this.
I still think this DRM is draconian to the max, but if it actually stops piracy then I find it hard to argue that it's the wrong way to go for games companies.
However if it doesn't work, it's done nothing but punish legitimate users.. and I'm in no mood for punishment that does nothing but make UBI feel like at least they made an effort, and they can now guarentee no re-selling and lots of marketing opportunities.

I agree with you first two points, but
read the rules, you cannot make declarations about pirating games or using cracks on legal games in this forum.
I understand that some people will legally buy the game and then look for a crack to remedy whatever inconvenience the copy protection has, but there is no way for you, me, and everyone to tell who is using cracks on legal games and who is pirating the game. So, keep that to yourself.
Note to all: this thread will be locked if this keeps up.
