I've been quite vocal about how stupid DRM is, but buying or not buying SH5 won't make a damn bit of difference, as it's such small potatoes. The real damage will be for the big hitters like AC2 to not sell well. Am I going to buy that? NO! Why? To punish Ubi. SH5 is so tiny and insignificant that they'll write lack of interest off to a waning of the genre. There are no console sales to compare against, like with AC2, where the damage will show.

What else will I be doing? Well, I'll be reviewing AC2 and saying that I won't be buying it because of the DRM and will be voting it as one star on amazon. I hope a lot of other people do too (hint hint :-). Us gamers know how to use the internet like that.

I do want to support SH5 and to make that support clear, I will be buying the collector's or special edition. I also do not support DRM and have argued against the 'fanboys' who say it will be great, when quite clearly it will stop people who could have played the game from doing so. I will continue to say how poor it is and when I have purchased the game and sufferred the true horror of DRM, you can bet I'll be in the 'official' forum and posting if I get problems and complaining about it for real, not just with the conjecture shown here.

I hope that makes my position clear. If you made it this far, thanks for reading it all :-).
