Why? Cause wtf is "TrackMania 2", that's why. |

but isnt it all going to be handled through maniaplanet systems? kind of like battlenet or whatever. or maybe I understood that system all wrong whenever I read about it. but wouldnt the next environments also be considered dlc. since steam considers everything dlc, even proper expansions and whatever is downloaded in addition to the base game. |

Personally I'm just waiting for this to show up on Steam. Graphically, it doesn't appear as advanced as I'd hoped, but most racing games don't allow you to build ridiculously complex tracks. I'm a little annoyed that it's only a single environment, but then I thought about the other games in the series and realized that I spent 90% of my time in only one of the environments. The $24 price tag also makes that easier to accept.
will it actually show up on steam at all with the new maniaplanet systems going into it?

yes ubisoft. why would you ever require people to be online in one of your few games whose main mode ACTUALLY IS ONLINE. put online requirement on offline games instead. it just makes maximum amounts of sense.

How sad is it that we now have to have separate news releases for each new game coming out telling us what kind of DRM they are using. 
yeah. it's complete garbage. the pc platform is a fucked up mess. |

I'm pretty sure it's paranoia about PC piracy impacting console sales.
Publishers still believe that nonsense? In spite of the fact that console versions of multiplatform games almost always sell 3-10 times as many as the PC version, even when they are released simultaneously? If anything, consoles are cannibalizing PC sales.
Driver was delayed, btw. |

I'm pretty sure it's paranoia about PC piracy impacting console sales. Trackmania is a PC exclusive and From Dust was delayed significantly, but Driver was supposed to be a same day release.
Either that or they leave it up to the project leaders. |

No. Absolutely, definitely NO. Ubisoft uses ist Always-On-DRM on games, which are potential top revenue games like the AC series. They do that to ensure their investors, that they protect their most valuable assets. Games with a lower revenue potential are getting a less annoying or even no DRM at all. Ubisoft DOES NOT LISTEN to its customers. As a publicly owned company Ubisoft only listens to its investors and nobody else. |

Thank god. I'm off to the preorder, hoping that Ubi takes as small a cut as possible.

Not true. Me and my friends have logged thousands of hours on all 6 trackmanias, and all of it was playing single and LAN. We bought the games, but we could have been using pirated copies just the same.
DRM is stupid. Whoever wants to pirate a game, does. |

We all know there has been a lot of frustration and outcry about the various 'Always On' DRM announcements as of late. Maybe, and I say 'maybe' Ubisoft is one of the first companies to listen to their customers realizing they need us more than we need them.
