A few weeks ago, UbisoftannouncedthatDriver: San Franciscowould need a constant connection to the internet to be playable. This resulted in quite a few PC players to be pretty upset, to say the least. But I bringgood news! Ubisoft has decided to listen to the fans, after sifting through a heaping pile of hate-mail, and loosened the ultra-strict DRM.
Now all you need to do is sign into the game with an internet connection once and the whole rest of the game can be run in offline mode. Reminds me of arecentstory where Capcom pulled the same move withSuper Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition. Coincidence?
At any rate, here is the official statement Ubisoft made, if you’re into that sort of thing:
We’ve heard your feedback regarding the permanent internet connection requirement forDriverand have made the decision to no longer include it. So this means thatDriverPC gamers will only need to sign in at game launch but can subsequently choose to play the game offline.
