Why Assassin's Creed 2 DRM is the future

[Venom]

The future your either in it or you are out.

I don't really think they care a whole lot about markets other than the first world ones. Harsh thing to say and no publisher/developer would ever admit to it, but we are seeing almost everything going online and clearly designed for use in countries with good internet infrastructure.

Very true. While South Africa is showing (slight) progress, it will be ages before we have access to speeds at prices available in first world countries. It will take long for a constant high speed internet access to be come the norm. But I wouldn't blame the developers for this ... it's obviously an easier decision to simply cater for the majority.

I paid for the game I expect to be able to play it when I want. I won't be buying any game that has this DRM. Perhaps when it comes out as a budget buy but probably not. Pity I was looking forward to Splinter Cell.

I guess always on internet is not a problem now ..with Mwebs offerings

That's assuming you want to make the switch.

I certainly won't switch service providers just so I can play a game - my choice of service provider shouldn't be dictated by the game I'm playing.

Even with uncapped internet the connection might be unstable and thus disconnect for short periods frequently, making this game unplayable with MWeb's new solution.
