And I think that all those who are complaining will win (this unfair game) in one of next 2 ways:
1. Telling someone as often as you can "...oh, you look sick...!" , that someone will really get sick. There are people on this forum, I am pretty sure, who like or liked this game, but the others, which are looking to SH5 only through the filter of DRM, are more many, or more interested to obtain a "no internet connection" than to enjoy the game as it is. They can be very convincing.  ... The result: NO support on SH5, NO SH6, and so on ....
2. Ubisoft, or devteam will say: "That's enough! What for do I work?"
It's not just about the money! This people can find many ways to get money. I'm sure they are really good. It's about the feeling of a useful work, it's about all that "lost" time when "SH5 was me and I was SH5!     "
... The result: NO support on SH5, NO SH6, and so on ....
Now, if somebody feels wounded, I am really sorry! It's just my opinion. |
If it was one person saying all this, or even just a few, then that analogy would be fair, but it's quite a lot of people saying this, and their concern is a legitmate one, as we'd like an acknowledgment that the DRM choice they've made is overly restrictive. For their part, I'd recommend seeing what happens to the sales when they remove it. Sure, there will be some piracy going on, but you really can't track that, so we'd just go off of sales. Which is the biggest thing that companies are interested in, after all. It's what pays their bottom line, pays their employees, and pays for future development of games.
And yes, there are only options for people who don't like SH5. That *was* the whole point of the poll: "why are people not satisfied?", to put paid and get a coherent sample that answers that question.
For my part, I seriously don't think UBI will actually do any of that. They'll get a few more sales, declare the submarine sim market petered out, and just do other things. But, I have to voice my opinion, and that's what a forum is for, whether that opinion be positive or negative, it's not just for one or the other.
Cheers.

EDIT: For what it's worth, I will be first in line to buy it once they remove the DRM. But until then, the only thing i can do is decline to buy the game, which is not a very clear way of communicating my reasons. For example, all the following
could be reasons I am not buying the game:
Converted to Islam and am in Afghanistan being trained.
No longer own a computer.
Got out of computer gaming in general.
Feel totally sated with having bought SH3 and SH4, and just don't feel like upgrading.
And all Ubi knows from my not buying the game, is that I'm not buying the game. It's important to me that UBI knows my reasoning, because it's one they could address, if they want to.
