When SH4 was released I was out of work and homeless. As soon as I had some money I bought a copy just to support the genre and the only company making the game I wanted to play. It was almost a year before I actually got to play it.
When SH5 was being touted I wasn't sure if I would be able to play it either, and, in spite of some of the bad impressions being garnered around the community, I came out and said I would buy it no matter what.
So now they've released it and I won't ever get to play it, because when I don't have enough money to spread around the first thing to go is the internet connection, which to me is a luxury. I can always go to the library to get online, which is where I am now.
So I haven't bought the game. Why? If I couldn't play it because my PC wouldn't run it, that's nobody's fault but mine, and I'd buy it anyway. But I can't play it because UBIsoft says I don't count. Nor does the customer who vacations in a remote place and likes to play sometimes. Nor can the customer who plays on his laptop to while away a long flight.
Constructive suggestions? Please stop treating good customers who have been faithful for years in such a dismissive manner. Why should I support this kind of disrespect?
And I'll ask the same question of you: HOW ABOUT SOME EMPATHY?

Thanks for the post Steve-kinda feel a little better about myself after reading your post. I have no-doubt that I will cave in and buy this game at some point, but for the time being the only thing stopping me is the bleeding DRM. It treats us all as pirates and that's just not on.
