UBI is wasting money on this! they better keep the money for their stockholders, since people who want to play SH5 will buy it and play it with or without DRM.
Hackers will remove the internet check, and those who use a prirated copy will play it, and never intend to buy it, so there is no money loss here.
Yes read it again..
Only if they make an unbreakable DRM system, and be honest, no such thing is possible, everything can be hacked, even the Pentagon, then they will get some extra buyers, but not much.. those who dont want to pay for it either get a hacked version or if that doesnt exist move on to something else and never buy it in the first place.
Its so simple.
There is one thing they can do, and that is FADE.. woven in the complete game so it cant be bypassed or taken out easily, it must be so complex that even hackers dont want to crack it because it takes to much time..
Ever been on gamecopyworld.com ? there you see no-cd versions for a wagon load of games.. all the protections failed. It wont be easy to protect it.
Maybe lower the price?
Anyhow, same discussion is on avsim.com, and noone knows a good solution.
