Assassins Creed II DRM wants your internet, always

Like a bad friend only coming to your place to use your internet, the PC version of “Assassins Creed II” will require an active internet connection at all times, reports PC Gamer. Should your internet get wonky and the game is not able to phone home, it will simply ask you to please save your game so it can exit to Windows.

Yeah, people are not going to like this one bit.

If you don’t want “Splinter Cell Conviction” — same studio, no less — to turn out the same way, I think you want to start to riot just about now.

This is ridiculous. How on earth does having the game constantly being checked by their servers make it any more safe than what valve does?

I wish companies would quit trying to do their own versions of drm and just follow valve’s lead. They have a mostly effective and rather non-invasive method of helping prevent these sorts of things.

Yeah, I know valve isn’t perfect, but I think they are probably the most successful at striking a good balance between the company and the consumer’s rights.
