Jimbuna's absolutely right and that makes the difference. If UBI's DRM worked like Steam, I could live with that. Problem is I travel a lot and often don't have an Internet connection available when I want to play games.
If I could "validate" every few play sessions or so, that would be fine. But anything that requires connection every time I load up is unacceptable.
With all respect to Takeda Shingen, the joke about electricity and a computer doesn't fly. Steve's right, there's a big difference between required infrastructure and an unecessary connection requirement. For the average Joe who doesn't travel and lives in a location with cheap and stable Internet service, the requirement is an issue for philosophical debate. For the remaining minority, others like me, its a deal breaker.
Until the connection requirement changes, my wallet and I are still on the sidelines with Sailor Steve (and playing SH3).
From what I can tell, it looks like SH5 has potential, but for now at least, I don't feel like I am really missing anything. Maybe by the time Sh5 catches up to the modded refinement of SH3, they'll drop the constant connection requirement for good.
