Useless...
It will just provide more fun to the crackers.

One image that comes to my mind is the opening of "2001 a space odyssey", when the monkeys learn how to use tools. It seems we still haven´t learn some tools do work, and some others do not.......

And I will gladly pay them a lot later as well.
Of course by that time the game will be in the bargin bin for 5-6 $.
You see everything works out as it should, Ubisoft takes the flak for draconian drm, some people get to rent the game at full price, the rest of us will wait down the line and pay what amounts to the price of a single Big Mac.
Its a win-win situation.

Depends on how you look at that
Spores decision to go DRM forced users away and into pirated versions

Digital rights management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mid-2008, the publication of Mass Effect marked the start of a wave of titles primarily making use of SecuROM and Steam for DRM and requiring authentication via an online server. The use of DRM scheme in 2008's Spore backfired and there were considerable protest, resuming in a considerable number of users seeking a pirated version instead. This backlash against SecuROM was a significant factor in Spore becoming the most pirated game in 2008

Not argueing piracy is a problem but screwing with the ppl who do buy your software isnt the answer either

thats like saying its the underwear bomber is the reason you cant go to the bathroom on a plane anymore, so if the terrorist cant pee i guess the bomb cant go off. well i feel safer already


it might be the popular excuse to blame the pirates and they are a problem that needs to be dealt with but there are other ways that are much more effective in stopping them.

the real problem is the people who are making these dumb decissions to make it harder and more difficult on paying customers when the pirates will still be able to easily bypass this BS in about 5 days or less

I'd be more confident putting my wager on 24hrs post release.
