Can some one confirm this DRM thing - Surely it a joke

[rascal101]

Just read a few posts on this, finding it a little hard to believe that a gaming company would be that keen to lock out 1000's of potential customers, who would be repulsed by this heavy handed approach, not to mention those who don’t have internet, or don’t have decent internet or even broadband and especially those who would be suspicious about buying a game that they may loose access to if something happens to the parent company.

Any way folks I really don’t think I can say anything that anyone else has not thought about this way of presenting games. Coupled with my own negative experience with Empire Total War and Steam and updates and Mods along with my own reservations about the lack of dynamic, (read random career) the thrill and the anticipation re SH5 has all but disappeared. I think I'll just wait and see -

Besides folks - the SH3 modders have been hard at it, they've cracked open other rooms in the U-Boat and there seems to be some really good campaign and environmental mods so maybe I'll just stay with Sh3 and SH5 be dammed. Hell I love sub sims but I don’t play SH4 even though I purchased it and the some-what lame add-on, and I don’t miss it in the least.

You really have to question the mentality of a publisher who despite having a captive audience, i.e. SUBSim and its god knows how many members who love your product; nevertheless you just ignore even the basic sentiment of the forum and its members.

I wish you all the best in the attempt to bring a U-Boat game to a wider audience, I cant help but think your wider audience is more interested in other games and other genre’s, that’s why Subsim grew, for those whacko’s like me who love subs, and you’ve all but put me right off the whole thing.

At the end of the day - without a dynamic/random campaign SH5 was never going to offer much by way of replay value anyway

I expect to see those of you who're looking for a bit more than a snazzy eye-candy experience back at the SH3 Mod Forum some time, until then

Good luck and good hunting
