then send them money in an envelope with a note inside
the money the devs actually see of each product sold is SHIT in the best of cases

Let me guess whats going to happen - people like me (i'm a fucking pirate and never bought a game in my life and i never will simply beacause the prices in my 3rd world country are ridiculous and the payment is super low) will still not buy the game but wait till it's cracked, or if it;s not cracked just say fuck it and play the next scene release. People who were planning to buy it will think twice and maybe a large percent - 50% or more will decide not to buy it and move to the next title. In the end Ubisoft will have 50% less sales beacause of this shit and finally they'll understand that this protection is crap and release a patch to remove DRM. The conslusion is that ubisoft are stupid fucks.

You would be suprised just how forgetful the guys on the top really are in terms of admiting their idiocies. They will stick by it, until the bitter end, and will quietly stop using it in future games. Just like they did with starforce. Everybody was hating it, they were using it, when the harmful effects on the users' computers became a widespread knowledge, they just stoped using it, but there were no efforts to remove that faulty piece of crap from old games.
Sure, they'll remove it, but not because it got cracked or because of unpoppularity. They will do it when they realize it's cheaper to shut it down than maintaining it.

Suicidal nazi protection! They keep fighting piracy on PC meanwhile you can download every single new release for XBOX...
What is their next step? New protection where you will need permanent internet connection, retinal scan, matching thermal signature and deep anal probing check...

You guys think that any of the money that you spend on buying the game goes to the developers in any direct form? Wow... 
Developers are paid by publishers before the game is released. In fact, the only pay that might come post release is for future support.
So yeah, if you want to pay the developers who have already been paid, send them a letter with cash/check inside.

I don't have a prob with copy protection requiring ONE online activation or such. But constant connection requirement for playing single player game? And storing save game and who knows what other info on ubishit's servers?
Talk about a good way to draw even more people to piracy.

Just remembered that the Securom activation protection originally required re-activation every ten days and in the massive criticism, it was eventually scraped and only the one-time activation remained. This is basicly the same thing, just instead of every ten days, it's every milisecond. How they expect it to be successful is beyond me.

Maybe this is just a test to see how many sales they get? Some games from Ubisoft, recently, have had no protection whatsoever. I hope this game doesn't sell otherwise this system will definitely be here to stay.

Problem is they had 'tests' before, had a lot of lost sales and criticism than they gave up for the next product.
Another problem is with each 'test' they loose a good share of now former fans and gain none.
Third problem is their idea of a solution to now dramatically low pc sales, result of former 'tests', is another 'test'  well good luck with that one I could tell them the result of this test right now: 3 sales.
Plus the sales of the crappiest Pop ever, called appropriately Pop, had higher sales and no protection, I guess some fans welcomed that no protection policy and bought that piece of shit hoping that future games don't have any drm and now look what they got: a piece of shit.

According to community developer, the game does not return to main menu when the connection drops:
| Quote: | There is an error in the article. the game DOES pause if connection is lost, and remains in the pause menu while it tries to reconnect indefinitely. However this is only the case so long as the player does not interrupt the process by trying to access the games menu etc.
I would also add if connection is only lost for a few seconds play continues as normal. |

Ubisoft is sure making history... first StarForce and now this shit... funny how all games after the StarForce fiasco had no protection at all (last PoP comes to my mind)

The game will still sell, most people buying it won't even follow this discussion.
