02-03-10, 02:34 PM

i dont know if anyone has noticed but this thread has now gone over 750 posts and has had over 18,000 views and i wish to thank all those who have participated in it and will continue to participate in it for acting mature and respectfull of all opinions.

at times we have had a few dissagreements over this very serious subject of DRM, but overall this has been a statement of the maturity of our members

I'm not arguing against the other points, I agree wholeheartedly. The issue has been beaten to death though; I'd rather see people taking this up with Ubi directly, instead of complaining on a public board.

That said, I'm sure their inbox is already flooded with these complaints.

I doubt it's as flooded as this forum.

People are flocking to this forum like never before and it is not to get info to buy SH5 but to find out what is the problem with DRM. If Ubi does not remove this DTM/OSP infection, it will slam into a wall. It will only hear, snap, snap snap, the sound of closing wallets.

Indeed, I'm still hopefull the constraints are relaxed as time goes on. Surely, when sales of new copies decline, the requirement will be patched out (maybe sooner, given the responses). No point in paying for those authentification servers if there is no more money coming in, right? (Right?! UBI?!)

Would be great if we could mod both games into one
and let SH4 fight against SH3.

Well.. not everyone knows where to find SUBSIM. But everyone knows where to find UBI.

I loved SH3, and have played it a lot, still fire it up every few months or so for a few patrols.

SH4 was fun too (Tho not as much as SH3).

Sadly, I won't be able to judge how SH5 is, since I am voting with my wallet and refusing to purchase this game. I am drawing the DRM line in the sand here.

Great idea. This could replace the renown system.

Sink a ship, and win a prize.

Is this now another company that has decided to capture their PAYING customers (dupes?) into buying a game that can only be played online??
Another net cast to trawl in those poor reliant fish. Once the catch is inboard then wjat?? 2 months down the line..oh sorry people but because of such small usage the server will be re-assigned to another game??

Unless of course you wish to subscribe to its costs!!

What a scam ...buy it but dont dare try and play it offline!
Anyway, if SH5 is at all like SH4 then they can shove it in the number 1 tube and fire it at their CEO allong with my fart cannisters with my compliments

Oh and btw ...nice to see u all here again !

Seriously though, that's exactly why I don't like this concept. If costs need to be cut, internet would be 1 of the first to go... and a good part of my game collection along with it, because of decisions like these.

Financial trouble (or any kind of trouble) is always just 1 screw up away. And it doesn't have to be yours.

Nothing like a little "look what you're missing!" to brighten up the day.

This is my first comment about the DRM issue and there will be probably no "new" thoughts in it.

I was excited about SH V untill the DRM was announced.
Although I have a (relative) stable broadband connection and my girlfriend lives in another town so I could use this "cloud save files" very often.

But I don't get the idea of being online the whole time for a singleplayer game.
At this point I will not buy it. The same with Rise of flight. I will immediately buy it, when one of the next patches will remove this similar DRM.

Anyway I'm very interested in any other news about this game and waiting for the release to read about it (Sim or Shooter).

Best wishes,
Dellwig
