I'd be happy if Neal made a DRM forum.
Even better, I'd love to see a thread dedicated to the folks who are willing to stand up and say "I still haven't bought SH5 and won't until OSP is removed."
Otherwise, folks like me are going to continue to stand up and do our best to be heard. I figure the rest of y'all will either get tired of hearing us and ignore us, or get tired of hearing us and do your best to censor/shut us up. No hard feelings, mind you, but I'm gonna do my best to be heard.

The constant connection, at face value, isn't what's bothering me... my gaming desktop is constantly connected, and I have a very reliable ISP. It's just that I see that OSP as the first step down a very slippery slope. OSP doesn't provide me any direct benefit. Their alleged benefits are simply not benefits for me. I fear the reliability of their servers. I fear what they may be using the connection for. I fear what they may use the connection for in the future. I fear what they may be doing to my system with that connection. I do not trust Ubisoft to limit themselves.
I also fear this "attitude"... the producers provide the client with a "license" to use the software, the way they say we're allowed to use the software, with all the limitations implied. I bought the software, so I should be able to use the software, with the reasonable limitations imposed by law.
Up to this point, I've been content to deal with the limitations imposed by most DRM. OSP goes too far, and I will not cross that line.
