This is mostly due to there stupid DRM, having to be permanently online to play a single player game is going overboard, especially since a lot of people, such as myself, have very poor internet connections or some dialup only, meaning they can't even play their games!:doh: That's straight out prejudice to those living in country areas etc.:x

Not in my case. My aversion to Ubi is purely based on quality issues. I don't want to support the company that ran the Silent Hunter series into the ground.

agreed.

However, you now only need to login to start the game (which takes all of 5-10 seconds) and you dont need to be plugged in after that. So anyone, regardless of how piss poor their internet connection is can now play the game.

A couple of weeks ago back at our cottage, I was able to log in using only a Blackberry plugged into my PC connecting to the UBI server over the faintest of wireless signals. After a total of 10 seconds, I was logged in. I shut down the phone and played SH5 unplugged for 1 hour.

It took you much longer to type out your reply than it would to log in to play SH5. :arrgh!:
