    Hmmm, not on Steam yet though, but that doesn't mean much. Ubi game right? Does it have that gawd awful copy protection?

    Yes it does. In fact the standalone benchmark tool also require you to have an active internet connection.

    Dangit, and I was really really really looking forward to this one. I just can't justify buying it though, and just can't see myself pirating it either for the sake of what's right. :( I hate having that disease called a conscience.

    @ granyte. +1!

    I love it! That's the absolute truth. You actually pay for something and you still have to sit through paid advertisements, warnings that you'll owe your first child if you let your neighbor watch it too, gobs of previews that you frequently can't skip... go figure.

    The person who pays for the genuine one gets warning of 5 years in prison and $250,000(I think), lol
    And the pirate, sit back, relax and enjoy!
