I will not buy the game if this happens with SH5.

Recently I bought Rainbox Six Vegas 1 and 2 to play with friends,
and the security software fails on my new PC which has a brand
new combo drive (DVD reader+writer and Blueray). Ubisoft has not
been able to help (buy a new drive or a new PC even if I just spent
cash to buy a new one and it's under warranty unless I change a
piece of it so I'm not going to void my warranty...) and the company
that did the security check (Securom) never replied after three
help requests...



I won't make that mistake twice.

I understand the edit Neal. What I don't is you removed the most important
part of my post : DRM in various games has destroyed the gaming community
we had created with friends. We met, over the years, playing the same games.
We gathered, created our own website, keeping the patches there and game
info. We played, every day, together for years. And DRM broke all of that.
With each new game, each new DRM, some of our members, real friends,
could no longer play with us. They spent days, weeks trying to find a solution,
and they did not. The editors of the games offered no solution. The editors
of the security DRM code never bothered answering any request : NONE.
So others kept playing, and slowly, less and less players came to the games.
Today, the site is gone. The friends are gone. Left are our memories of
funny and great gaming moments spent together, in old games we no longer
play. It is a very bitter taste.

I do understand why you did edit the post, and I do agree with you.
But you did remove what was the most important and painful thing
about this whole DRM issue. You are pushing the finger in the wound
and turning it in doing so.
