I am disappointed to hear that UBI are shooting themselves in the foot by forcing this too-intrusive DRM software upon us.

To be honest I am not sure whether I will buy the game or not. Chances are that the connected-to-internet obligation will be lifted after the first hype an biggest part of sales have passed.

Although I own an original Starforce-infected copy of SHIII I was able to find another one in the bargain bin, without map and booklet, but also without Starforce and patched to 1.4b as well (for a whopping € 5,-) I see the same scenario for SHV; a little patience may solve the whole matter.

I am also still counting on IW to make dedicated servers possible for MW2 as well...maybe not overly realistic but I think everything will work out fine in the long end. Same goes for SHV.
