They're just going to keep pushing it until its accepted; dipping their toes in the water over and over until they feel any semblance of warmth then jumping in. PC gamers are typically more vocal in the defense of their gaming experiences under attack than console gamers, but even they will have to give in at some point (or simply pirate).
I expect console games will follow suit at some point at the same scale. There will be a point where how games are played will be controlled more by the people selling them than the people playing them, and we'll have no one to blame but ourselves and our "publishers have the right to do whatever they want to make money" attitude.

And this was exactly what I was afraid was going to happen.
Sorry Ubisoft ..... actually no I'm not sorry Screw you.
The best way to set me from teetering on the edge of excitement and chompin at the bit to buy your game to not caring less, is to toss in some crap DRM.
Enjoy losing my sale ^^
On a far brighter note that means some other game developer is going to get my money, Yay them!

Despite the usual summer lull for actual games, controversy has stepped up to the plate to occupy us all in the meantime! Seriously, the Mega Man debacle, the 3DS price drop, Ubisoft's DRM shenanigans...it's like the French Japanese Coalition of Fail. Quick Jim, insult the female gender! We're all too distracted to notice this time!
Can we retire the inb4 and popcorn comments? People can rage, thats fine. Just no more inb4 or popcorn comments? I'll give you all $5 for no more of these.
I don't buy anything that REQUIRES and internet connection to play. Multiply that by other gamers who dont do it and how much sales will they lose? Granted there are those who "could care less" and those dogs will buy it so they will make some money off the cursed thing.
Drm and one save file combined with the fact that the game should have been dlc with an online pass required and the community will explode. Make it happen capcom.
I'm going to buy the game but only play the cracked version. If my friends see me playing an art game the hipster comments will never stop.

If you buy the game all they will see is you voting with your wallet.
Saying "I fully support your use of DRM".
If it is an issue you actually care about you will abstain from the game entirely.

Personally I wouldnt buy a game that has this DRM on it. What if my internet goes down or I am away somewhere that doesnt have a connection, I will not be able to play a game ive payed for, thats complete BS
Psh, that protection is going to get stripped away faster then a candy bar wrapper in Jim's hands by pirates. Just wait a week, and if you want to do things semi-legally, purchase the game but download and play the cracked copy.
DRM like this will only lose sales, especially this DRM which is imo the worst sort there is. I was looking forward to this and Driver aswell.
When it comes to DRM publishers tend to follow what others are doing. So imo part of the blame lies with Capcom who seem to be trailblasing this type of DRM.

The best way to protest this is with your hard earned cash. If you don't agree with this sort of practices then do not buy the game. I wont buy this game even though I was severely interested in it due to the intrusive DRM.
I still don't understand how any publisher can think that its smart to put DRM in a game that does nothing but make things harder for the paying customer. If you want me to buy your game then make a good game and if you want a certain amount of protection from piracy then make a CD key for that game on the PC sure a Pirate will keygen your game but a pirate would have found a way to crack your DRM as well.
I actually have a good example of this. When I got the Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Athena I had trouble activating the game through its DRM system. So instead of messing around with the DRM rejecting my CD key due to TAGES site being down I instead opted to do a little research and crack the game I bought. I would have taken me over 2 days to activate the game normally but as a paying customer I had to resort to the same methods a pirate is forced to play a game I paid for.
So in conclusion. Fuck you Ubisoft and Fuck you DRM.

Aaaaaand suddenly the whole "me picking it up despite Jim's review" thing doesn't seem so likely. Buyer power/sending a message with my wallet and all that.
@Begaria
Its really simple if you don't agree with the DRM
DO NOT BUY THE GAME
if you do they see it as you supporting DRM, even if you download and play a cracked version of the game.
DO NOT PIRATE THE GAME
because that almost gives them a leg to stand on under the party line that everyone would steal their game without abusive DRM.
If you honestly take issue with Abusive DRM then Abstain from the game, its not that hard people. Essenntially it breaks down to,
DO NOT PLAY THE GAME
until such a time as they remove the DRM, then feel free to toss some money their way, buy the game and enjoy it.

Well ain't that awesome, Not only do they make shitty games that I wouldn't like to buy in the first place, they make it so even if I bought it, I wouldn't be able to play it.
Gotta love Ubisoft!
Gotta love Ubisoft!
Why should ubisoft care? people continue to reinforce that their douchey behaviour is acceptable by buying their games.
pro-tip: speak with the only voice you have against assgoblins like this, your effin wallet!

shame, loved populous and this looked like great fun but as a pc gamer with no console...... sale lost ubisoft.
I was planning on holding off on this game until it was released on PC. Not doing that anymore though. Fuck you, Ubisoft! :D
It sounded like all the control issues would be resolved on PC but now I'm not going to buy it at all. Fuck unisoft, this will only drive piracy, not prevent it.
We are in a bizarre time where people get easier internet access on their consoles rather than their computers? Haha, the industry is wacky.
I really don't have a problem with this in my case, but it's still a very unattractive method.
