Hopefully this sends a message on what a poor business model it is to have to ask permission to use something you buy.

What relevance does this have to SH3? It's better posted in one of the myriad of DRM threads over in the SH5 forum...

FWIW my SH3 has been running perfectly on demand today, even though the Ubisoft servers have been down.

SH5 may have great modding potential, but at the end of the day, what good is it if you can't play it?

None, but this is the only forum I frequent here and people have talked about the DRM influencing their SH5 purchasing decisions, so I posted here. The mods can move it if they like.

Gonna close this one down before it escalates; it's served its purpose.
