"Pay to Play" (paying a monthly fee to access a single player game) might just work for me, provided certain conditions are met. For example, Ubisoft would have to make me see the value in it... they're not going simply package SH5 up and make me rent it as is on a monthly basis. If they keep adding content, fixing bugs, etc., I'll be more than happy to pay them on a regular basis. I need to see that value first, though. Don't hold it against me when I say I'm not holding my breath. Ubisoft would need to prove themselves to me before I'm willing to commit.
While we're on the track of renting... I'd love to see a single authorization each month to confirm that my "Ubisoft account" is active. Rhapsody does the same thing for my "To Go" subscription. Plug my MP3 player in once a month, and I'm verified for another 30 days. Why can't Ubisoft do the same? Rhapsody's gotten $15 a month from me for the last few years. Ubisoft ought to be drooling at the prospect.
