Default Nah

In my case it was that I knew about DRM, since I was doing testing for a another game that was "DRM made", way before SH5 was out and there were some problems when patching in that game for example, i.e. the game server would not recognize the log on when the new patch was applied.

Now, there is another take on this: The good out of this is that we might not ever see a "DRM" again in any shape, because it has really been proven what a bad choice it is, in the shape it is now.

I do,though, see also that companies have a right to protect themselves from piracy and this form of DRM is evidently not the right path to go.

Bottomline, game wise I'm not at all regretting my buy of SH5 and since I now can see what it really needs,(besides the usual bugs that all games have), I can in a better way approach the critisism of DRM ( that, by the way, we in the test group suspected from get go was a bad way of doing it and I should also say that it wasn't the DRM per si, it was the constant connection to Internet that was the real issue.)
Have a one-time-connection-DRM ( like many other games have) and that's it.

"Bioshock 2" has a kind of that.
