Well, to say it simply, I own a lot of Ubisoft games on my PC. Even with the authentication servers down I can still play all of these games. I however cannot access the extra content that comes from having access to the servers. For instance, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood will not allow you to use the investment system without an active connection to the Authentication servers. It was one small insignificant little part of the game that I wanted to work on but didn't get to because at the time I played the game the Ubisoft servers were down for almost 4 days, in which I finished the game and stopped playing it.
Long story short, you can still play your games; and to the Author of the article, do some fucking research. Ubisoft dialed back their DRM considerably after the release of Assassin's Creed 2.
