      So do Ubisoft games(I never had a issue with any of their PC games they are top notch), or are you referring to Ubisoft's DRM that caused your game to stop working if the internet went out or there where connection issues? I can admit this did happen to me when playing Hawx 2 once when it first launched.
      
      I don't want to be a douche(the last thing I want to do) but D3 will have these same issues you can not evade the same issues with such a setup of 24/7 connection to the internet.
      
      Am I going to buy D3 and take a day off on launch day, for sure, I just don't think the company should get a break when other companies take massive shit storms for similar things :(
      
      All well I guess the Blizzard name trumps everything, sort of a shut up we are Blizzard we can do what ever we want, just seems wrong, maybe I am thinking too much and by doing so might get banned from battle net LOL
