Picture this: in a year or two how many people will still be playing Assassins Creed 2 or Splinter Cell conviction? Not many I'd bet, but UBI will still have to maintain their DRM apparatus as there still would be trickle of new and existing players with these games. Though by then the cost of maintaining the DRM would surely overtake the minor revenue made.

At which point, it won't be cost effective to keep the server up. Close the server down.. only a few people complain... and the company moves on.
