Mattdizzle: Answer Sailor Steve's post first, please.
Second,,this is a community of fans of Subsim's (among other kind of sims) and with some respect what one want to do with your money you must be able to do a "selection" when it comes to singleplayer, i.e. singleplayer through a constant server?, NO I own the game and play when I want to and not when a Server tell me to that: Now it is working.
I was testing a "DRM game" way before SH5 was out and it had some real issues with online connection all the time when it came to s t a b i l i t y online and be able to access the game 100%.
I've always been against for example these MMO games where you first pay a sum of money and then have to cont' to pay to play more and being dependent on the connection and also when Multi is free with many other games.
Now this has come to Single-player as well, sadly.
Single player is that I choose when,how,where I want to play and NOT through my "neighbourghs" server!!
If you buy a book you must go over to your neighbourghs house to read it and if he's not at home; you don't read!!!
Why is Bioshock 2 just doing fine with their 1-time-DRM?? Works for them.
Nah,,this is just another "starforce" issue and I bet UBI will drop it and see that are other approaches to fight off piracy, for sometime.
P.S. Did you se that I "DRM'ed" you Mattdizzle at the top: I told you to answer Sailor Steve's post first otherwise: No connection.
