Very sad that Ubisoft continues to focus on this devilish copy ... You have to be permanently online and can not resell any time Server Ubisoft should be even offline (there were at AC2 and Settlers 7) The server according to a time / can be switched off to play the game not the game ... Too bad that so many players still can not just give up one or the other game and there is so much sold. So other publishers will follow suit and you can soon fully enter into the bin the PC as a gaming platform. And another thing: Ubisoft's oh-so-great-copy was in my opinion already fully geckrackt before Releas and even playable online!
Please ask you buys another game. There are enough good!
