This post count thing really has to stop. Fighting too...
One would have the impression that we here are deciding the future of DRM on PC games. We're not:
- No one would like such a system if they had dial-up in their home, or traveled much.
- No one would like to see an end of PC gaming or the devs of SH5 losing their jobs because of lack of sales due to piracy.
- No one would like to see Ubi's servers in maintenance and not be able to play.
- No one really cares about pirates and their "rights" to try before buying. Unless...
In other words, we all accept that Ubi has the right to protect it's products. OSP for multiple games, in ideal conditions, is a very neat system. Anyone that has ever played a MMO would agree, as it is simple and non intrusive. We will either go along with the flow, or stop buying. Sale numbers will decide if Ubi decides to continue this tactic, lessen it, or abandon it completely.
I'm an eye-candy man. I worked for 3 months to bring OLC's interface to SH4 just to see the pretty graphics. I deffinitly won't ignore SH5. The game might suck so I'll wait a couple of days to see reviews and make up my mind. Sooner or later Ubi will find a way to resolve this issue of DRM and allow us to play SH5 (a single player game, with mods!) offline as it should be.
PS: let's not transform Subsim into a battleground of legal rights. Newcomers might think this is all that Subsim is about. All that could've been said, HAS been said already multiple times. Let's move on, either plan SH5 mods, or return to the other sections. I for one has just started a new campaign in SH3 and enjoying it to the fullest.
Power to the players!
