SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - Do we really want to ruin this forum with constant DRM and SH5 trashing?

THIS TIME, Mookiemookie tells me: "Or, you could just not post it because it's something that's been posted a thousand times over. You are seriously degrading the signal-to-noise ratio. You hate DRM. You hate the fact that Ubi intentionally or not relies on modders for a finished game. We get it. Move on."

Well, "Mookie" - there you go again! We keep revisiting the reading comprehension issue!

I've never been overly concerned about the DRM issue and have posted very little about it, as a matter of fact. Never. Ever. I've only responded on one DRM-specific thread regarding my concern about privacy issues when it's mandated that I'm connected with Ubi's servers whenever I use their product. I've never stated it made me think twice about buying SH5, nor do I honestly find it much of a hassle. But I'm lucky - I have reliable, fast internet service, unlike others.

My primary complaint is that SH5 was rushed to market more incomplete than previous versions. I've stated my feeling that I suspect that's due to Ubi assuming Subsim Modders can make everything okay - at no charge to them. BUT, they charge US to buy the game. I don't think that's fair - and I've utilized some really easy to understand metaphors to illustrate my point!

My complaint in a nutshell: I'm against using unpaid labor to enhance ones profit margin. I don't like having to pay for what amounts to a beta version of a product. In the overall scheme of things, I place DRM/OSP at 8 on my 1 to 10 scale where 1 is, "Heavily Concerned" and 10 is, "Not A Concern At All."

DRM issues never even came up. Perhaps you're attacking the wrong person?
