Yes, Ubisoft officially posted instructions on how to remove Starforce from SH3. It is posted on this forum.

I have the original "Starforce included" version of SH3 and recently reloaded it on my new computer. I found the thread above and patched it as directed. Neal says it is a "approved by Ubisoft" patch.
The funny thing is I cant believe the audacity of Ubisoft because the "official non-starforce patch" is actually a pirate created crack.
So is this what we should expect when they decide to patch out the current DRM in 6 months to a year?
