SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - I finally understand why hate SHV and the devs

I finally broke down and purchased the game from a solid e-bay seller for $15.50. Hopefully it is legit.
I would like to be able to make up my own mind on this debate over whether SH5 is 'Da Bomb!' or 'The Devil's Spawn!'. I have issues with DRM, but am willing to overlook them at this price and for what I perceive for the potential of this game.
That being said, I think it is unfortunate to berate the Devs when any final commercial release is the result of a corporate decision. I applaud the devs in assisting the modders- good for them! It shows more than just a monetary interest in thier work. They obviously have a sincere interest in this subject, and the Subsim community. Ubisoft is like any other company. Profit is the bottom line. If DRM is going to be a sales killer, then hopefully they will figure it out and remove it like they did with some of their other games. As for further patching by UbiSoft of SH5 after patch #2, I doubt it, so please treat the devs with some respect and brotherhood. The game needs all the friends it can get!
