Looks like I won't be buying Ubisoft games any time soon.

Which decade do they live in?

That is messed up... hope Silent Hunter V doesn't have this, but I wouldn't bet the house on it...

What a bunch of sh1t.

While I'll admit I was a rampant pirate in the past these days I'm happy to buy games and support the developers, despite the constant stream of disappointing sh1t we've been subjected to lately but it's crap like this which makes me want to run back to my old habits.

I'm the same, happy to pay and support the Devs.. but when the producers/distributors get greedy like this, it's gone too far. Steam is about as much DRM as I'm prepared to wear.

But yes, highly amusing, all it'll do is put a big bullseye on this game for pirates to crack, and more people will get it that way now.

the rationale has to be content control and a desire to test out how to end the 2nd hand market....

Confirmed gayness for the following games:

Ubisoft confirms their controversial new DRM scheme that requires a constant online connection will be used in Splinter Cell: Conviction, Silent Hunter 5: Battle of the Atlantic, Assassin's Creed 2, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, and the new Ghost Recon game
