You get that impression because you think that if someone does not rage against it, they must like it

I will explain exactly what I think, again. I do not like DRM, I do not like CD serial keys, having the CD in the tray to play, online activation, user passwords, firewalls, Captcha, virus protection, anti-spambot Q&A, ATM pin codes; I don't like any of it, Sam I am. But they are necessary because people steal, people do things they should not do and they are hidden by lies and anonimity. So, DRM has become necessary. I am not closing my eyes to the real fact that game companies should get paid if someone plays the game. And I won't argue "piracy <> lost sales", or the other typical stuff we have seen 1000 times. If the DRM works, then hopefully Ubisoft will make a good pile of $$ on SH5 and fund another one with a bigger budget and more generous development cycle.

No, I don't like DRM, but I'm not going to go all mob and pitchforks over it either. Ok?

Disclaimer: I do not think that all people who oppose the DRM are software pirates. Some are, some are not. Peace.
