I think the whole piracy issue is overplayed. But I understand the need for some type of copy protection scheme, what I dont understand is why Ubi went for something so burdensome as this?
Is always connected to the internet really the best they could do? If I buy a music CD or movie DVD I dont have to maintain a constant net connection to enjoy that, so I really think something else is at play here. To me it feels like some kind of experiment and since Silent Hunter attracts a small but passionate following we make the perfect guinea pigs. Will this be the business model for the entire media industry going forward?
Also, why would UBi even want to store all saved games on their servers? That dosnt seem effiecient to me. I can easily store my games on my own computer, what purpose is served by remote game saving?
Let me pay my $50 bucks and walk away as friends, I dont need a long term relationship with Ubi over SH5.
