    PC Version DRM

    Ubisoft requires that all of their PC games need an "always-on" internet connection, as part of a new DRM and online services platform. All announced Ubisoft PC games will include the online services, whether sold online, or from brick and mortar stores. 
     
    If you get disconnected while playing, you're booted out of the game. All your progress since the last checkpoint or savegame is lost, and your only options are to quit to Windows or wait until you're reconnected.  This happens even if the game  loses its connection to Ubisoft's 'Master servers' on their end.
     
    This DRM was very negatively received by the PC gaming community, and the servers have come under attack by hackers in protest of the DRM policy.
