I have many games that require some sort of connection and it didn't stop me enjoy them. I have a bunch of steam games, ROF, and all the Lock On games and i never had a problem with them.
With the fast connections this days, a game with poor DMR is doomed from the start.

I'd say let them get paid for their work.

I am all in for Steam that allows offline play. But Ubi DRM is just what it is - like the above title says.

By the time it's hacked, a ubi-style drm will be too.

Precisely. There is no game protection that can't be hacked. And when legit users have more problems than the ones with pirated copies, the choice is obvious.
