Patching and support does occur at a bare minium level, and if I had bought it, I would be really angry now, probably feel quite stupid and cheated. Ubi is not any better than the people they aimed the DRM chains at -- oh, ups, they aimed at the loyal customers (and resellers), I forgot.

Hey, but you can walk through your underpopulated, overscaled submarine interior all day long, don't even have to care about submarine warfare and get soup all along! And yeah, it has so beautiful graphics! Especially when you see the screenshots of ships running on shore, or running through each other... /sarcasm end/.

I guess there is, thus far, only one possible conclusion...
