You're being treated as a criminal by Ubisoft and you're having to pay for the honor. You're under house arrest. The instant your paid for game goes off line (or the instant Ubisoft's notoriously badly run servers do the same) you get cut off from using the product you only really "rented" at full purchase price.
How everyone is not outraged at this is beyond me. Why anyone would want to support this kind of penalty against paying customers is beyond me as well. Yet in this thread several people are downright PROUD to support the most ill conceived and ridiculous DRM policy ever put in place.
Personally I won't really affect me. I have high speed constant connections at home and at work and I don't travel with a laptop or anything (though the few times I have SH3 was on it!). But at the same time it's painfully clear that Ubisoft is directly attacking their paying customers in the name of fighting piracy and this system is NOT the way to protect their product.
That's why I'm NOT buying this product while Ubisoft treats their customers like criminals while the real criminals get to enjoy their games just fine.*
* as in those that simply hack the game, not the few who buy the game and don't realize how bad an idea this DRM thing is.

Hear! hear!
It should be an insult to every person who has paid hard cash to be treated like this.
I`ll bet one thing though, as soon as your copies of SH5 start quitting for no reason and you get whole hours (and maybe even days) on being unable to play you`ll all be cursing UBI allright.
But it`ll be too late. they`ll give you crocodile tears, spiel you along with excuses then tell you that you accepted it and must live with it. You`ll all be seething with rage while they run off to the bank and award themselves massive bonuses with YOUR money.
Then you guys will wish you had said `No` and forced UBI to give up their 24\7 DRM. And even if it all goes smoothly, you guys will have set a precedent that will ruin Single player game enjoyment for life.
Mark my words.
