I went to a friend's place on Saturday night. He, his flatmate and I went to school together, so we've known each other 30 years.

Another friend came over, too.

One of them is a very skilled tech/programmer. We spoke about DRM, and Ubi's intended version for SH5.

I also showed them the "Das DRM" clips on YouTube (which they thought were hilarious).

Now the 4 of us would represent at least 120 years of accumulated boardgame, computer game and RPG experience. We all have Steam installed on our PCs/Laptops, so we're not against online authentication in itself.

We all think Ubi's DRM, without an off-line facility, is assinine for a single player game.

Maybe that's not exactly public, but I'm certainly happy to discuss it when the conversation suits. I have, for example, discussed it with some work colleagues; those who are technically minded and often gamers (both PC and console).

Their views? Ubisoft has lost the plot.
