Where I think SHV went wrong was essentially the watering down of the sim elements to accomodate the gamey-er RPG elements. The result was a product that neither casual gamers nor hardcore simmers were happy with.
Of course, as you said, the DRM didn't help either.

Agreed, the idea could have been good, but it was poorly implemented.
Thankfully, there are now many mods available to carve out the RPG elements, while keeping all the SH5 specific innovations. I still have a SH4+RFB+RSRDC instal, but with all the great work TDW and the other modders are doing, I now feel like I am downgrading when I fire up SH4.
Btw, I had no problem logging on to launch the game yesterday or today.
