<quote>Pretty sure they learned their lesson. The DRM was quietly removed in a patch and they didn't include it in AC:Brotherhood IIRC.</quote>
update: also 6.79 on steam sale (ends soon). Not sure if better DRM.

it wont register on steam but the DRM has been scaled back to only need an internet connection to launch
Still $5 too much with Ubisoft's DRM.
Good price if you don't mind being part of the problem…
So the Steam version doesn't require an internet connection the whole time?
Neither version does.
Ok let me rephrase that.
So the Steam version can be played in offline mode?
In that case if you want this game on PC you have no choice.
I buy games, even with crazy Ubisoft DRM.
If I am serious about playing a game offline, I simply pirate it.
Who seriously can trust Steam to work in offline? it does often work, but no guarantees and the only time you should need to play offline is when you are not at home which is when you need it to work 100%.
Anyway, if you are interested in this game and don't need to play in a place without an internet connection just buy it.
nice price but be aware
its NOT steam and also (game unplayable when ubisoft servers are down)

Ubisoft got hacked due to this b$ ruling that punishes people who buy the game
the pirated copy has no such restrictions unless it has a multiplayer mode
i would give a + for price and - for nazi rules
