I have to agree with the people who think strategies like this will 
accelerate the piracy of the title as opposed to reducing it. It just 
doesn't make sense to penalize honest, buying customers in this way.

If you're disconnected, no biggie: Ubisoft said the game will simply pause 
until you get back online.

No biggie? NO BIGGIE???? "the game will simply pause"...as in "the game 
becomes unplayable" unless it detects a connection to the Internet? That's 
enough of a restriction for me to eliminate their titles from my purchases 
so long as they do this. Sure, I've got Internet and am always on--but 
that's hardly the point. If the Internet should falter or go down for some 
reason I'd hate to think I shelled out money for a game that just won't 
function in that event.

These guys are smoking crack, no doubt about it. They need to get it through 
their thick heads that their buying customers are their friends and not 
their enemies. Any company that deliberately alienates the people who would 
ordinarily *buy* its software deserves whatever fate befalls it, imo.
