I also have a hunch these new elements are tied to a broader strategy to make a sub sim that could be played more easily on a console (streamline the controls by minimizing how things happen and are initiated). In other words, Ubisoft may be trying to move the franchise to consoles were sales may be higher if they can attract a large enough crowd.
The DRM is a totally separate issue which I have a feeling will go away as it seems to be causing more ill will than anticipated.

You actually think that with SH5 the way it is they're thinking of the future? Man that's optimism in the extreme.
Hard to believe anyone is thinking of Ubi ever doing another subsim. If they do it'll probrably be a empty CD container with a pretty picture on the front. Just like this SH, a pretty picture on an empty box, like their promises.
Yeah, I know of what I speak, I caved and bought it out of my monthly allowance. My optimism is that SH 5 will go from where it is to what it can be, but that's where it ends for me, Ubi can't do subsims, only the modders. It's like this house I had built by a less than honest contractor, he built me a fixer upper.
There should be a program on PBS "This New House" with tips on fixing the mess left by contractors. This is the second time I've had to do it, and I won't have another house built. Maybe the same idea can be started with a forum outside of mods, fixing this new sim.
