I dont sell my games I bought. And I only spend 25€ for this game. There are so many ways to get a game by a decent price. And yes if a connection is lost once, it is 1 to many, I agree with that. But remember that this is only the first game with this new protection.
And also this is the first step to what the future brings us.
In like 5 to 10 years, you can only play a game from remote servers by using a remote desktop feature, which offcourse also needs a constant connection.
This also means you dont need any fancy hardware, trainers for games aren't possible anymore, piracy put in the ground and the world becomes at peace.
If left unchecked ubisoft would strive for total control, you would have paid 49 dollar and own nothing, in order to access those remote server you would have to sign a 2 year contract and pay 5.99 per monthly charge to play the game you paid for on their server. If you cancel they would charge you a 400 dollar penalty for early termination and you forfit all rights to the game. Protest by then would be too late, every game developer would use the same DRM.
You pay 49 as down payment for playing the game, ubisoft own the right and lease the game for 5.99 a month with contract of 2 years and termination fee of 400.

They would get slapped heavily if they chose that route, for one simple fact games mostly wont be MMO's.
So no they wouldn't do that.
But onto topic at hand, the game is very good, its marred by the fact the Russian DoS bots are ruining the fun of legit players. No matter how much the warez community whines about it, the fault is not Ubisoft's they are protecting their product with a good protection that works when the bots are not bombarding the servers. It will never make Ubisoft from removing the DRM. So it is all a waste of time.
