Every now and again, someone pronounces PC gaming dead, but it might really be happening this time. MTV Multiplayer is reporting that the PC distribution of Assassin’s Creed will ship with some bloodthirsty DRM. In addition to the usual requirement that you be online to start the game, Ubisoft also wants you to maintain a continuously active connection the entire time you’re playing.

Failure to comply will boot you from your game in progress and prevent the system from saving your game. Ubisoft has assured Ars Technica that Assassin’s Creed 2 will keep trying to connect and the return you to the last checkpoint when it finally does, but that’s like saying it’ll hurt less when the knife comes back out. I have to say that it makes me nostalgic for the days when Ubisoft ruined my saved games out of incompetence, not malice.
