    That's just plain stupid! If Ubisoft adds that on Steam games too then they are freaking morons.

    The sad thing is, I would have bought AC2 for the PC before reading this. People who want protection should scrap securom and anything else except Steam. That would be great.

    No, but they do stick an anal probe in you with a ethernet port, and if your internet goes out or you have to take a dump, your saved games are deleted and AS2 is uninstalled.
