I do feel an ounce of pity for the guys who can't play (but: We told you so!), yet I'm having a most awesome time seeing this DRM-system break into pieces.

This is a literal, word for word, 100% dream come true textbook case on why online-based after-sales DRM is bad. Cracked within days, massive failure for paying customers within a week, and prolonged at that. Not one or two hours, like for Rise of Flight, but weekends!

Maybe this is the catastrophe that finally had to happen before things will change and customers will finally stop giving up their rights to those companies.

Edit: I can still see SH5 in my local steam store. If they start to have to pull product "off the shelf" I'll be smoking a cigar.
