Ubisoft's Draconian DRM Patched?

An anonymous reader writes "It appears that Ubisoft's controversial DRM scheme launched last year that required players to have a permanent connection to the Internet has been patched to no longer stop the game when connectivity drops, though an Internet connection is still required when starting the game."

Between games and hardware I spend over $100/month on gaming, of which Ubisoft has seen $0 this year.

Amazing, that's how much I've spent this year on electricity, Internet service, groceries, and rent!
