If you hadn’t heard, Ubisoft will be releasing Assassin’s Creed 2 with restrictive DRM that will require you to be online at all times to play the game. If you go offline for whatever reason the game will pause and try to reconnect, at which time it will then send you back to your last checkpoint.
The game is also being rebranded to accomodate the restrictive DRM.
Now, I know what you’re thinking, why does a single player game that has no online function require a constant internet connection? Stop asking sensible questions that are too hard to answer silly!
Apparently the Steam version will include the same restrictive DRM despite the layer of DRM already part of the platform, so as you might expect this has brewed quite the shitstorm (titstorm?).
Anyway, the game will work perfectly, so long as all of the following criteria are met for 100% of any play-session:
- Your internet connection remains up
- There are no outages between you and the Ubisoft servers
- The Ubisoft servers are up
- Ubisoft as a company still exists (they say they’ll patch it if they close down but I’d rather not need to count on their assurances)
See? You drama queens are taking it too far!
Future updates to the DRM will download all of your personal files so that Ubisoft staff can laugh at embarrasing photos of you.
