Q. What if someone finds a security flaw with DRM and they hijack my connection to send me to a porn site?

A. Most porn sites provide ad funding for great features such as DRM so you should be fine.

Q. What happens when intermittent drops in connection result in the "No Internet Connection" box ONLY after changing something in a mod that you had to restart the game to test?

A. It will confuse you as to why changing a key mapping would break your internet connect, but at first you won't realize what it was because a missing tab (whitespace) in a python file will have made ALL warning messages pile up under the connection warning utterly confusing you... :O:

Q:Why do I need to keep discussing a game I do not own?

A:Because you are a weak, characterless wimp who can't say no. Now go back to your room and be quiet. :)

Never had any issues like lost saves, lost connection or anything else that hold me back to play the game in good conditions. I have many issues with SH5 and Ubi, but DRM is not on that list.

And yes, the pirates are not complaining about the DRM as they had great fun in breaking it, the complains are from those who want to play that version and are not able to set it up properly! Playing the pirated version is not that simple as many of you think. Just read what you need to do to play without drm, I'm sure not many are able to handle those requirements.

I agree, I think we all know by now everyone's opinions on the DRM, I philosophically disagree with it, but aside from early router issues, which I suppose aren't really UBI's problem, I've not had a single issue with the DRM, it even loads quickly (THANK GOD they put in the option to disable save game synchronisation!)

"Two blondes decided that this Christmas they wanted to cut down their own Christmas tree. So they drove two hours into the country and walked deep into the woods to find the perfect Christmas tree. They had planned the trip well, especially considering that they were blond. They were dressed warmly with boots, warm coats and hats. They had a chain saw, hatchet, a bag to protect the tree and rope to drag it back to their car. Every detail was covered.
They searched and searched. They had gone to all this trouble, nothing but the prefect tree would do. They searched for hours through knee deep snow and biting wind. Finally, five hours later with the sun beginning to go down, one blonde says to the other, "I can't take this anymore. I give up! There are hundreds of beautiful trees out here. Let's just pick one whether it's decorated or not!"

As on topic as the Q & A session, and a whole lot funnier:03:

If shutting up about a valid complaint is a requirement for the aforementioned respect, then I'll continue losing it.

I see a DRM thread created once every few days and it's the same every time.

However, locking them doesn't change a thing. Another one is started within a few days. The same people show up to sling mud at each other.. rinse, repeat.

We should just have a *DRM Pro vs Con Fight Thread* here where we can go to call each other crybabies/sellouts. Perhaps that would cut down on the new threads and the resultant crying about crying. :woot:

Maybe somewhere in there, someone will mention if the crap has been taken off by Ubi so some of us can actually buy it and deserve to be here. Which seems to be the primary complaint thrown back at us.

It's more the hopping into the forum - stirring up trouble and hopping out again, usually using a very tenuous link between a valid subject and DRM to shoehorn the argument in. That's when I loose respect for people - You see it's trolling pure and simple and I have no respect for trolls.

Actually, I think we're singing from the same hymn book you and I;)

Q: Why is it that when an anti DRM thread appears, pro DRMers want it shut down, or herded into another thread or generally complain about it?

A: Only a certain elite thinking people accept full time internet connection when they don't need it. That's why this thread should be closed and other anti-drum threads banned and anti-DRMers sent to the brig.

re: no limit to number of online players.

B.S. There is always a limit to the number of online players-even if it is a billion, there is a limit.
