Uber Gruber, some of us can't play online though! Once the game is patched and is quite a good playable sim I hope that the DRM is patched out, but if it isn't and there is a crack that works I will buy the game then use it, what other choice do I have other than to give it a total miss!!:hmmm:

It's pretty crap Reece when genuine customers end up not being able to play the game yet those 'other people' (who we're not allowed to mention here) can play the 'other version' of the game (which we're also not allowed to mention here).

UBIs current stance really isn't helping genuine customers stay genuine. :down:

Downloading a mod that allows you to play your legally obtained SHV copy without internet connection is not pirating.

But I won't give Ubi any money until THEY get rid of thee OSP DRM.

Bad luck Reece,
AC2 is unlocked 2nd time yesterday, this time with a simple ***** :har:
They even wrote a letter to Ubi...

But SH5 is forgotten game, both by market and hackers...
(great work Ubi...:dead:)

From what I hear SHV is next on the modder's list. So far, they are right on schedule. This kwack will go faster. :D

Altering copy protection is, legally, the same as pirating software. We won't be discussing it here.

Don't hijack my thread to talk about cracking and pirated copies. The first post on the first page is what this thread is about. Want to discuss something else?? Start a new thread

Interestingly, I was down at JB HiFi yesterday, and while they still don't have SH5 (as do none of the other stores in this capitol city!) I noticed Assassin's Creed 2 boxes all had the price tag covering the 'PERMANENT INTERNET CONNECTION REQUIRED TO PLAY THIS GAME' warning.

Perhaps the only way they can sell copies? :yeah:

It's sad but true. Circumventing drm and other digital locks+hardware is considered illegal in a lot of countries. There are many loopholes that can allow you to do it legally tho. It really depends where you live.
