OSP instead of DRM is that a new sub:har:
it must have been a dream
:zzz::zzz::zzz::zzz::zzz:

Title of this thread is misleading. DRM or OSP, is same thing.

On the other hand it is good to see that we are not the only protesters. Ubi is getting hammered elswhere, too. Bravo!!

We Are Not Alone. Protest is Spreading

As this article indicates, we are not the only ones outraged by Ubi's OSP (DRM by another name) decision.

As pressure mounts in other sectors, Ubi will feel the pressure of its clients voting with their wallets.

I would not get my hopes up. I would be among the first who order the game in the US and import it to Europe if UBI would not include the Online At All Times point in the US release. However, UBI is not stupid and as such surely wants to prevent people like me from doing stuff like that. Besides, can you imagine the riots when UBI now announces "Well, US will just have the offline game and log on to UBI when they want to play multiplayer. To the rest of the world: Sucks to be you!"
