Last Thursday Ubi's server was down from 6pm to 9pm and so were all of it's online games.
I've posted this 2 or 3 times in threads you're smooching away in but you've yet to respond.
Can't think why?

An "always-online" requirement for SH5 means I won't be buying it.

I havent even see that, Im only going in 2 threads here. This one and 1 other DRM thread. I havent seen what you wrote.

So what you're saying is SH5 isnt even out yet, and you're assuming right now, before the game is even out, not even knowing if it will be on its own server, that the servers will go down? Okay...

So your argument that server side game saves are awesome because hardware fails which you told me earlier, is perfectly acceptable.
However in your magical world where my hardware is gonna blow any minute, Ubi's (or anyone's) game servers are flawless and never go down.

You are so full of contrary **** it's hysterical.

And whether it's on it's own server or sharing one with a hundred other games is irrelevant. Hardware fails, software fails, nodes fail, routers fail.

You.... fail!

Not just Ubisoft's hardware... ISPs' lines go down, too... My connection dies if there's even a hint of lightning, and it rains a lot here. AT&T tells me where I can stick it when I call them and complain.

Ubisoft's games are now only for people within the city limits apparently, too, since people out in the country have limited access to broadband.

At this point, trenken, it just sounds like you're trolling... either that, or you have a lack of empathy for others' situations.
