Perhaps they should leave the SH5 boards and get their own forum so they are in like company.. they have no intention of ever playing the game anyway right?

Might be a boring forum though since the only sticky would be: "Who is more resolute in not buying a game and boasting about it?"

Go away.
I feel your pain. I will eventually get SH5 but that will depend on how long it takes to reach the bargain bins. By then the DRM will have been removed as Ubisoft will no longer care about losing profits. By then it will likely have been modded into something more like SH3.2 (I hope). I doubt this new 3D interior, interactive, subby, thingy with Star Trek controls and trying the cook's soup is going to catch on and revitalize the sub sim genre.

If anything it may make the original SH3 code more available to the modders and for that it deserves merit.

It's also entirely possible another version of Silent Hunter will be released whereby this whole cycle may start all over again. It depends on Ubisoft and the success of their DRM self-flagellation software.
