In other posts you derided even the idea that someone might ever have a poor connection, or that servers (Ubi's own fault) might ever go down or be slow. Your suggestions to people who brought that up were along the lines that they should throw away their computers and play Monopoly (presumably they'd drive their Model Ts to the store to purchase that game).

The reality is that due to no fault of the customer, they WILL be inconvenienced by this 100% connected scheme. Period. This cannot even be debated. There WILL be connection problems sometimes, and there WILL be scheduled and unscheduled outages with Ubi servers that will make people like me who might pop onto the PC for an hour of play with a beer in hand really POed.

WILL happen, not a chance it won't. Invariably when they have no one on-call to fix it, too—which will likely be when the bulk of people also have time off to play (like over holidays).
