In other words - yes, a one-time activation is still in place, but the always-online requirement is -oh, joy!- totally gone. It is worth mentioning that the first two of the aformentioned steps can be done entirely offline. All you have to do is install the game, update it to the latest version (via UPlay or manually, if you so desire), then connect to the internet only once when running the executable. Which, of course, is still much more preferable form of DRM. There's nothing new in that, there have been also other "always online"-DRM games that changed the DRM to "ok, you need to activate it only once when you install it on a new PC, but you still have to activate it"-DRM. If it still needs to be activated online before you can install or play it for the first time on that other PC, then unfortunately it still has online DRM.
Can you still install and play it there, without any online activation needed? Timppu: Just so that you (or me) are not misunderstanding something:įrom your current PC where you are running the game, move it to another PC which is not connected to internet.
