The OSP DRM scheme actively discriminates against anyone who travels frequently and plays games on their laptop.
Use of the game is restricted to times when you have internet access, which for me when travelling is usually work time, as the cost of access in most hotels and some public places is so ridiculously high, to make it laughable that any one would want to use it for gaming.
No play in any form of transport unless you are prepared to pay the stupid costs of mobile broadband. So I can't play when flying to my destination and have seen all the in flight movies and still have 3 hours to kill before landing.
No play for most armed forces personnel stationed overseas or on ships/submarines where internet access is restricted.
How many potential customers of Ubi will be hit by this. OK SHV customers may be limited, but extrapolate this over their entire catalogue and their potentual p!ss off factor increases significantly.
Sales people, business people, pilots, armed services personnel all of whom travel often and have significant down time and large enough numbers of whom use gaming to fill the void of staring at the same four walls when having a jet lag induced no sleep night.
Trust me, it's not fun waking up at 2am and being wide awake with nothing but hotel TV to entertain you.
