Well, maybe Ubi will see the light and fix the game. Like you I'm ready and willing to buy a DRM free game that fixes many of the glitches. My price point seems to be higher than yours, but I don't see that mattering as the first two requirements block any consideration of price...
I can't get over Ubi's attitude about the whole thing. This is how it is and if you don't like it too bad, don't buy it.
I smile and say okay!
Bet they blink first.
