Advantages to this atrocity towards PC gamers? What advantages? There are no advantages...
The first of those isn't an advantage, anything without DRM has it. The second's not really an advantage either, because your save files are at their server's mercy, and you can't back them up yourself even if you want to. That isn't true with normal save files.
Fortunately the pirates will crack this open, and as many people on the internet have said, there's no question here that pirates will have a better experience than people who actually bought the game. If Ubisoft is trying to kill off their PC game business, well, it may succeed, we'll see... or maybe people will be stupid and buy lots of copies of this stuff anyway, but honestly, I hope not. This kind of action should not be encouraged.
