It's just that this latest DRM scheme has had a big fuss made over it. All kinds of people talking about how DRM "doesn't need to be uncrackable, it just needs to be hard enough that the company gets a few months sales out of it first." Ubisoft was obviously risking some annoyed gamers with this latest, more harsh DRM, and were thought to be conducting a sort of experiment with that. Whether keeping the pirates at bay for an additional month or two would be worth irritating some customers.
So yeah. I posted about the crack not because I was surprised to hear about it (I'm familiar enough with the scene that I expected nothing less), but because of how newsworthy this DRM scheme has evidenced itself to be.

Ubisoft DRM cracked. Already. Along with some interesting statements from the company.

Steam is a form of DRM, but notice that Ubi doesn't have legions of fans like Valve does.

They do seem to be taking notes, actually.

It just makes it so there's a local save if it disconnects

No, but an improvement resulting from player feedback nonetheless. *NM*

The odds I'd give it are 0% or 1%, depending on the circumstances.

Just to note: Steam's offline mode works <right now>, which is nice. *NM*
