Eh.. no you don't.
There are different DRM schemes, and none of the games that you listed uses one that is similar to Ubi's.

Guys, chill out, the mods will be in. There might be a few issues with Save file formats that won't allow us to mod in other Uboats, but only if Ubi are really mean and implement a check-up system... SH3 Commander will also be completely out of the picture. You won't have mods however if 90% of the modders don't buy the game because of the DRM.

Now Trenken, to quote some other posts, we don't really want a sub game... we want a sub sim. We're a niche market and it's only appeal is the sim part. We have no doubt that SH5 will be a GAME just like SH3 and SH4. It's the community that managed to turn them into sims. If the community stops it's support for SH5, game over.... You clearly missed the point on DRM, this is completely unheard of so far and it's simply stupid. There is a game that does work like this: Rise of Flight. It's the perfect example of a good sim gone sour. If they let us play SP for free, many more would buy the game and play MP, buy their silly DLC planes and so on. As it is, this concept of DRM is a graveyard. Ubisoft is walking straight into the greatest blunder ever. EVER.

""We do NOT limit the number of installs. We do NOT use online authentication or any other SecuROM functionality except for a disc check when you install the game and when you launch the game""

Lol @ the guy that posted this, because its when you look at the bold right there, that confirms exactly what happens when I launch FO3. If I pull that little internet cable out of my computer, I get a connection error when I try to launch the game.

Weird, right? Works just dandy as long as I keep that plugged in.

^ This.
:salute:

Go fire up Fallout 3 without an internet connection, smart guy. Tell me how that works out for you.

With the original CD IN?! Works bloody great for me.
WIth the CD OUT? it tells me to put in the CD. Oh wait... maybe you have the online version... heck, if you have such a good net, yeah, you can afford a DRM like this.

I just can not resist..

Different DRM scheme. It does not require a constant connection to the server. Nice try, though.

Thomen, EPIC!

Have to just quote this again for that guy so he can look even worse.

"We do NOT use online authentication or any other SecuROM functionality except for a disc check when you install the game and when you launch the game"

If I try and launch FO3 right now with no internet connection, game will not run. Same deal with SH5.

I can't. I don't have internet on my computer. I don't want to play a Massive-Multi-Mish-Mash-Online either.

Why can't I just buy a game and play it on my computer, at my leisure?

This scheme kills play for many (halting when connection drops), and entirely kills modding since you can't play with a mod installed then have the game DL a patch and blow itself (and the mod) up.

Since modding is the ONLY WAY WE'LL EVER SEE REALISTIC CONTENT, this scheme is incompatible with the desire to play a realistic game EVER.

So again, you want an arcade game, I get it, but you will never see a realistic game under this nonsense. Not ever, since they either lack the resources or the desire to make one (the SH4 campaign was clearly a cut and paste job with zero research or attention to detail, so I assume it's the former, not the latter).

Except you listed games that use nothing at all like this ubi scheme.

Not quite
With FO3 you can cut connection and drive off merrily playing
With SH5 you have to stay connected

Not the same then

hmm, then I'm afraid to mention that you cannot take part in DRM's benefits! :D

Because, then you get people creating their own content and they dont see any money out of it. Its just the way it is, people forget that these are businesses, they need money to survive.

We're all adults here, you cant see things from their perspective as well? With DRM, it kills modding, and allows them to make some more money selling maybe a dev tool for the community which ive seen, and sell expansions. Its good for them and turns out to be good for us in the end as well.
