Oh, thank you.

I know people who feel that way about you and anyone who actually pays for a game. Sheep.

It's not about paying for the game, it's about said game's DRM limitations. Face it, we are suffering more and more restrictions with each and every new game, new forms of DRM which do not appear to deter pirates in any way, only punish the genuine customer. How is this a good thing?

Perhaps your net connection is good enough not to worry about the constant connection requirement, but not all of us are as fortunate. My net drops out on a regular basis, a bit of bad whether and I won't be able to play the game I've paid for. Not exactly what you'd expect from a single-player game.

But hey ho, what does it matter? As long as some people are satisfied, bugger the rest of us. This would seem to be Ubi's underlying attitude, and if that doesn't tell you something about the future of this title, then I don't know what else will.
