Ubisoft Brings Back Always-Connected DRM For Driver: San Francisco 261
Last year Ubisoft introduced DRM for their PC games that required a constant internet connection, going so far as to terminate single-player games if the connection was interrupted. After facing outrage, boycotts, and DDoS attacks, Ubisoft seemed to have softened their stance, issuing a patch for two games that allowed offline play. Unfortunately, it seems the change wasn't permanent; Ubisoft's upcoming racing game Driver: San Francisco marks the return of the contentious DRM.

Indeed, I was going to get this on Steam, but that's just completely unacceptable. No sale.

I guess the choice will be the Pirate Bay Edition, then.

The computer is a "communication" device. It is a fairly safe assumption that it is, or will be connected to the internet at some point, more often sooner rather than later (or never)..
Erm, computer is inherently a computing device, not a communication device, thats why they call it a "computer" and not "communicator".
