I don't know about disclaimer but I can see something very large written on that box.

Sure, Dan. But that 'Internet Connection Required' statement doesn't address Ubisoft's legal requirement to provide server access 24/7. It simply states that you need an internet connection in order to play the game.

This thread honestly wasn't meant as another negative DRM issue, but rather a genuine concern regarding what I consider to be a potential powder keg.

Oh, I get it now, you're referring what happens if the Ubi server is the one actually "problematic".

Yep, no idea on that part. Hopefully that won't be a problem though.

I can only judge by the multi player option in earlier versions, Dan. I tried it three or four times. I was never able to connect and so I gave up. Not a big problem as I prefer the single player mode anyway. But it would be a big problem this time, because a player has to use the servers in order to play the game at all.
