I bought it Saturday after following all the threads about what is good with it (not much apparently except the graphics) and what is bad about it. The bad list is growing quickly. It will not run well enough on my laptop so I have not installed it yet. I am waiting for my new PC from Digital Storm to arrive before I do anything with it. As with a lot of people, I seriously object to the DRM and having to be online just to play as a single player. DRM is the best encouragement for piracy that I have seen yet. The "suits" just don't get it. They obviously don't read any reviews. Obviously the "suits" have short term profits in mind. They don't care how it sells over a long period of time; they just want it to sell for about a year and then write it off and go do something else half-assed. UBI has other games I would have considered but not now, not with this kind of "protection". It seems as if UBI deliberately releases the Silent Hunter games in beta mode because they can save money by doing it and they are certain the modders with finish it for them.
