...will probably keep intruders away, but it won't be a good place to live in. Same here: Perhaps this thing has a chance to work technically, but that doesn't mean that it will increase the company's profit gained from this game. I pre-ordered the black edition of AC2 (and some other coming Ubisoft titles, too), but now I canceled it. I know myself pretty well and I know, how much it would annoy me when the game pauses again and again (because of my lousy internet connection), always forcing me to start from the last save point. I don't want that. So I will not buy Ubisoft games any more. Ok, honestly, I wouldn't buy it, even if I had a great internet connection, because of the DRM-thingy.
Honestly, I simply don't think that "one person who downloads the game illegally less" equals to "one more person who buys the game". In my (not very) humble opinion, the main priority of people who want me to buy something should be to please me and not to annoy the people who will not buy the game. By annoying all of us, they perhaps decrease the number of people who will download the game illegally, ok, but probably, they will also decrease the number of people who will buy the game.
