is this some sort of DRM crap. If I make my account does it automatically tie the game to the account?

Yes, and I'm assuming you bought it on the Steam sale this weekend so it is already tied to your Steam account. So what does it matter? I am not defending Ubisoft's draconian DRM measures, which I hate, but it's not like it really matters now that you have bought it.

Yes it's on my Steam account I bought it on sale. But that means I cannot play offline mode LAN with friends because it will be tied to some stupid ubisoft account right?

Yes, I have to say they sure are taking precautions. If you get it on Steam then it's tied to your account, in addition you need to tie it to a Ubisoft account, in addition you need to add the Cd-Key and get it verified aswell as the game itself. I'm amazed they didn't want me to send them some hair, a semen sample and my fingerprint skin sample.

You don't need to be online to play it, you just need to activate the game like any PC game, for newer Ubisoft titles you do that through uplay which is also the same account as your ubisoft account, that's it, no more, no less.

You can play it offline just like you can play it on Steam while being offline.

Assuming you played Ubi games before you have an account, so there're just two steps.1) Log in your Ubisoft account.2) Add your key to activate the game.

Actually I don't have a Ubisoft account until now, The last Ubisoft game I got was Farcry 2.

You have to make an account first and activate it. After you play online once, then you can play offline.
