Maybe there should be a thread for this. Every week the hardliners write a short "Yupp, no purchase so far" and we can monitor how well the thing holds out. Sort of like stop smoking together.
As for me: Easy to make that pledge. With current info on DRM SH5 simply wont work on my PC so buying it would be similar to taking 50 bucks out of my bank account and burning it just for the fun of it.
But I'll closely monitor the whole thing. Hopefully a few months after release the whole Online-At-All-Times thing will be dealt with in a patch (which at the same time removes some bugs that have bitten everybodys ass so far) and then I'll happily buy.
Doing so will then of course not send a signal that this sort of DRM is evil per se to UBI, but hopefully it will contribute to UBI releasing similar patches for their other future games in a similar manner. As long as a few months down the road such ludicrous obligations get patched out in the games I am grown up enough to just sit back, read a book and wait for the "second release".
