Plus it works so smoothly I never even think of it as DRM, I just notice all the positives.
Comment on Fuck Ubisoft.

Because it’s optional and if opted in, works offline.

AFAIK SteamWorks DRM is something developers have to actively implement in their games. From what I understand, by default Steam is merely a delivery system without DRM.

Yes. Ubisoft’s Rayman Origin works with no launcher, just copy steam’s game dir and go.

Ubisoft’s launcher also has an offline mode, though, does it not?

I remember playing Far Cry 3 on Steam way back when… It opened up uPlay. I was not happy, but what can you do.
So I played for a bit, then… the game crashed. Nothing seemed to be wrong with the game, but the uPlay lost connection. Everything else worked just fine. Happened several times after that, never bought anything else from Ubisoft.
Even if their launcher isn’t such piece of shit anymore, I don’t care.
