I'm with you Elder Pirate. I've got plenty of life to live that doesn't depend on future gaming. As you said, it's not just DRM/OSP on SH 5 but any future games that tie you to the fortunes of a large corporation ( Can anyone say... "G.M." or "Chrysler" or "Meryll Lynch" ) . Some people just don't get it. It's the principle!! You would think that the defenders of freedom and independence ( read Americans ) of ALL people would be the first to recognize this.
Make no mistake, I have no use for illegal copies of anything, but such an aggressive approach to security of intellectual property is actually developing a new market for software pirates, people who would otherwise happily buy the product! With the hopes of such a huge new market, you can bet the pirates will be working very hard to cash in.....sad and stupid....
