That seems childish if you ask me.

I didn't ask you . It's a product. They didn't make it the way I wanted. I won't be buying the product because of the way they made it. That's a review. That's what happens in the free market. You are free to ignore your customers and they are free to say what they like about you. They won't be saying on the box that the product has such restrictive DRM, so other potential purchasers need to be warned.

Yes, it says 'permanent internet connection required' but it doesn't say that you need a 100% reliable connection or you will lose your unsaved progress. Don't potential purchasers deserved to be warned, or should people just walk in blindly and get stuck with such a monster?

We all know that's how AC2 will work, none of us that have kept up to date need to buy it to know that. It's the 'casual' gamer that Ubi are after that won't know. They won't have been reading the forums. They do deserve to know what they are buying right - after all even Ubisoft won't tell them what they are buying and how the DRM will work. You remember that 'phone interview, where the guy asked the Ubisoft rep how DRM would work in each game and he said 'Ask your peers' - not that's childish.

I don't like your way of letting people be tricked into buying a product they didn't want. If they read all the reviews and see they all refer to DRM, then if that doesn't bother them, then they can decide to purchase anyway. It's the ones that don't know that deserve fair warning. A product with this DRM in it does suck, regardless of how good the game is. NO STARS FOR YOU!
