In a not-so-shocking bit of news, Destructoid has reported that Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight is just about as useless to legitimate game purchasers as Ubisoft’s newest PC offerings.

PC Gamer has been poking and prodding the “final” chapter of the long-running franchise, trying to figure out just how far EA has gone in an ultimately useless attempt to keep people from stealing their games. As it turns out, losing your internet connection at any point in your game, for any length of time, will result in losing all of your progress.

Even more insidious, if the connection drops the game will still play, you just won’t be able to save anything. Then once the connection is re-established you get kicked back to the main menu and will begin cursing up a storm at the realization that you’ve just wasted a good chunk of your afternoon for absolutely nothing.

Bravo, EA. This might actually take some of the heat off of Ubisoft for a while.
