Broad Band simply isnt available to everyone.

Speaking for myself, I will purchase SHV regardless, I want to support the franchise, I want to support the fantastic Romanian dev team and Im also exited to have a new subsiming exerience.

Im not worried about the DRM in terms of my own internet connetion as only get D/C'd one in a blue moon, and when i do its nothing that a quick router reboot wont fix.

However I do worry about the reliablity of Ubi's servers, now the following statment might get be brig time here- but I'll be honest.
If I get problems with a connection to Ubis servers when there is no issue at my end.
I will most likey download & install the first illegal (but virus free) crack/DRM removal tool for SHV that i find, I have little doubt that there will be one.

I will Pay full price for my pre-ordered legit copy of SHV
I will not have my SHV playing time messed up because UBIs servers are are out of action.

So if the DRM goes ahead, i just hope the servers to up to scratch, I do not want to be forced to break the law.

It is also the first step of many toward you not being able to own any games and need to pay service fee to play.

"nuff said.

For those who don't yet understand, it SUXXS.

I agree with both posters.

It's the Principle of the thing.
