Ubisoft Dropping Always-On DRM

Guess I'll be buying Far Cry 3 then, at least Ubisoft is heading in the right direction. Enough of these annoying online DRM and constant activation schemes.
 
This is untrue. I got DRM'ed 3 Weeks ago.
Its taken 10 emails. 3 Photo and 2 weeks to get un DRM'ed.

(Yes, photos)

Hust don't buy thier games..
 
Not that I really believe them when it comes down to it, but do we still have to have Uplay to play these games? If so I'll continue pass. I am just not setting up an account with every last developer out there.
 
Wow. That's good to hear--Ubisoft's always-on DRM (or whatever is in Uplay) is the only DRM implemented on any game I've purchased that has prevented me from playing that game properly.

Despite their conclusion to kill their always-on DRM, the lack of conversation about the justification of why was still disappointing--and also their lack of acknowledging that their DRM negatively impacted paying customers (and owning-up to their crap DRM) was also disappointing. Rather than acquiescing to requests to kill their always-on DRM, it would be much nicer to have a dialog and acknowledge your wrong choices (but of course a business won't do this outright...).
 
Someone on Ars pointed out that the newest HOMM game (released last fall) technically *works* with no always-online connection, but a a bunch of the game features and such don't work. So technically true. Typical Ubisoft. They always lie about their DRM =S
