Lurkers! Opportunity To Sign Massive Petition
 
Greetings!

Gamers from all over are massing on one consolidated petition that has a good chance of having an impact on Ubisoft & its DRM, OSP, Uplay.

Join thousands of gamers by signing the petition to remove DRM from Ubi games. :DL

Sigh,

This is the 3rd threat about that same petition (correct me if m wrong).
:nope:

Signed. I had to talk about Assassins Creed 2 since that and any other game UBI makes will be were I make my stand. But SHIII is already pre ordered. And hopefully with all the new releases coming out for UBI soft in all adds up.

SHVI with current DRM. Forget it.

Pretty sad that SHV might be our last game.

Needs a comma after "police".

Also lacking a "'" in "shouldn't".

This petition looks solid, I hope one of them will haunt ubisofts employers for some time.

Hopefully they'll remove it soon after launch anyway...

:har:

You do realize that "y'all" is a contraction and requires an apostrophe, and that you missed the "r" in "worth"? I mean as long as we're being pedantic. :O:

No, the grammar police chased it down and caught it before it got away.

But if I had written "police.", I'd be implying the the "." was part of what was originally written, as opposed to ending the sentence with a period after "'police'".

In this case, English grammar is just plain wrong. Poor design. Anything inside '"' marks is part of the string literal. Therefore, punctuation added to the quote should be outside the quotation mark. I see this affliction mainly among programmers, though.

There are few who can. The language is that of Ubisoft, which I will not utter here.

In the common tongue it reads "One DRM to Rule Them All. One DRM to Find Them. One DRM to Bring Them All and To Our Servers Bind Them."
