Yeah I still can't believe this and as Spiked sayed this is a single player game you should be able to play it without the internet on at all.

But how does this help Ubisoft combat piracy?

It actually eliminates it completely. When you download a hacked game, you can't access the internet. You're downloading the game and getting the game only. Usually a cd key gen is passed around too and you use a cd key that is being used multiple times. It unlocks the game, but you can't get online because the servers only accept 1 key and then it's null and void.

What this does is make it impossible to play the single player game without connecting to the internet. Since hacked games can't connect to the internet, you'll never be able to play it without buying it.

Oh yeah, that makes sense now.
