The way I see it, Ubi is committed to this new scheme for all their games and will implement it no matter how much we rant and rave. I think the "scheme" will work or fail on its own merits. Either it will work as advertised and we will all heave a sigh of relief or it will turn out to be more trouble than its worth and it will not be in SH6.
Look what happened with SH3. It came with Starforce, which everyone complained about and which turned out to be a major headache for Ubi. By the time SH4 came out, it just had a simple activation code.

From what we can tell from surveys, about 85%of members of this site are firmly opposed to DRM. Assuming 10% caves in, we have 75% of hard core buyers not buying. That's one hell of a hit.
One must remember that less than 10% of the lurker traffic is represented by our membership..
All indications are that Ubi will have to back off DRM.
It is very stupid of Ubi not to have backed off already.
They might be testing the waters. A dangerous game when you are in shark infested waters.
I can assure everyone, I'm not buying the DRM crap. My wallet will stay shut until DRM is removed.
