Seriously, Ubisoft? So players will be unceremoniously kicked to the main menu if they lose internet connection even for a bit or if the Ubisoft servers go down, making them lose all progress since their last save.
As far as DRM goes, that has to be the single most asinine thing I have heard of yet. Really, this is beyond the pale.
Hmm, I wonder how many days it will be before the official PC release of Assassin's Creed 2 that this is cracked and rendered a moot point to all except for legitimate customers who aren't willing to use such cracks? In any case, I'm glad I have the 360 version of AC2 and not the PC version.
