The opening paragraqph is absolutely brilliant :haha::haha::up::up:.
Another article in the avalanche of negative press that is burying Mr. Ubi Sammich. Is a Turkey sandwich a lower level of ham sandwich intelligence? |
A publisher will die, and a new publisher shall take its place.

Good article. He pulled no punches.
Despite the vocal attempt of a few Ubi apologists (who, I should point out, haven't played the game either, which is always their first argument against those of us who question this DRM policy) this whole being online thing for a single player game is a really bad one. This article points out why in a clear and succinct manner. He made one very telling point. Ubi is the same company that foisted Starforce upon us. Given that track record no one should be too surprised Ubi has made yet another, unforgivable, misstep. |
Ubisoft has a popup for registration you product now/ remind me in 7days/ never.
Why not do: you want to validate your product on boot/ once a day/ once a week and let keep our save game on our own computer. If it won't validate at least once a week it stops working, simple as that. Mud |

They also publish from time to time drm free games (HAWX and the latest episode of Prince of Persia). Ubisoft is a publisher that when it comes to drm is very schizophrenic. Right now they are in the all or nothing DRM phase, unfortunately for those that appreciate Ubsisoft's games. |
Which means you have to log on every week to validate your game? Forget that. Some of us have lives.
|
Simple click on the button validate seems no big deal to me.

Heh, here we go again, corralled into the gawd almighty thread.:wah::wah::wah:.
Well, like Iron Bodukan said elswhere, "I smell death." Nothing can save Ubi unless they start listening. By being stuck in one thread, our outraged houling is muted only a little bit. |
Online one-time authentication? All right. I can live with that. I don't like it. But I can live with it.
Connection 24/7 for a single player game? Puh-leeze. :har: |

Quite frankly, and take it for what you will, your constant harping on DRM with every single post is getting old. You're not going to buy the game - we get it. |

WHAT???:x As far as I'm concerned, this is the ''Silent Hunter 5'' forum and not ''DRM'' forum or ''OSP in Silent Hunter 5'' forum. Of course OSP is part of SH5, discussion should be allowed. But what should not be allowed is to let the ''Silent Hunter 5'' forum being overwhelmed by DRM/OSP. BTW, this forum had been overwhelmed by DRM/OSP few weeks ago, Moderators have been tolerant, but now I believe it is legitimate that people who wants to come here and read/learn/discuss about other aspects of the game without being continuously hijacked by DRM discussion. ---- Edit: Mookie, I didn't see your post while I was typing, agree 100% |
Q: What do you think Houston's chances are this year?
A: DRM sucks! I am on record as standing firmly against the scheme, and I keep insisting I won't buy the game while it's there, but I agree with Mookie - it's getting old. Maybe I'll be driven to change my mind and buy it, just to be contrary to the contrarians. |

Unfortunately, Ubisoft don't do things that make sense. |

Funny to think that our `harping on` in our `righteuous crusade` will actually benefit the likes of YOU as well as us if UBI turn it around. And I`ll bet you won`t thank us later when they do. Better that if you aren`t going to help make things better that you just don`t say anything at all and play your leased internt 24\7 singleplayer game when you get it. |
