I just noticed that R.U.S.E (the steam release at least) doesn't have Ubisofts perma online DRM... wonder if it's going to be like this for all their future releases.

I doubt it, especially for the 'big' releases. But hey, you can always hope.

Nope. R.U.S.E. is an exception, not a sign of things to come. Eugen Systems (the game's developer) can do this because they are not owned by Ubisoft.

It's going to be bad anyway, ubi isn't very good on average.

This doesn't make sense, since the leash* DRM has been in use since Assassins Creed 2. New games since should have been made with the DRM in mind. This means that the delays (both AC1 and AC2 PC had similar delays) have absolutely nothing to do with implementation of any DRM. They're also presumably building off of the AC2 engine, so it can't be an optimization delay. Now, I'm only speculating here, but delaying the PC version of a game is a common practice used to mitigate piracy. I've read a quote somewhere from developer admitting as much. Wait a minute, wasn't the leash DRM supposed to fix that? Interesting, but only speculating. [size=9]*not intended to criticise the DRM, I just think instead of typing longer descriptive phrases or Ubisoft's official but ambiguous "OSP", a "leash" is both simple and perfectly summarizes the basic mechanism of the DRM. Apologies for any misinterpretation of my intention.[/size]

Waiting for the day when UBI gets rid of all their DRM.
