Any chance fo UBi doing a no-online version of SH5?

Wulfmann · 05-31-10, 08:26 AM

Just thought I would do a check in and see if UBI was even considering a SH5 that does not require being online yet.

My game PC is not online so it is a not possible to consider SH5 until they release such a version.

I was hoping after the usual bigger sales period of the first few month they might want to tap into the market that will not or can not do online hook up to give them money/income/profit!!

When they dont want it to take up space on their servers, they might release a patch to remove the on-line requirement

perhaps

but as for the time being... it doesnt look promising, and in fact they plan to implement this type of DRM onto pretty much all of their future titles.

If Ubi have lost interest in SH5 enough to take the servers down; they will
have long passed the point at which they would put any effort into a offline patch.

I work away two weeks at a time and the signal for my dongle is crap which means i cant play the game when i,m away.
Also downloaded from steam WoP over two weeks ago and cant even get that to play.
My feeling about DRM,s is that it is driving everbody into the hands of the consols,maybe that is what they want.

That's probably when I'll buy it (along with a new PC to run it).

Ubi, in the license agreement,
stated a no online patch would be released if the servers were stopped.

If they fail to do so?
A Class Action Lawsuit would be filed in the USA.

Lawyers are hungry Mothers for this type thing!

So I'd tend to believe that patch is already standing by.
Infact?
The game was created without DRM!
Then DRM was added to the Game.
Much like Star Force was not a part of the original SH3.
It was an addition.

Right now is not a good time for Foriegn Companies to screw the American Public!

BP has brought this situation to light for even Joe Bob Billy.
And there is a movement going on.
You play by new rules that we,
the people demand,
or we take away your toys!

Heads will roll at the next election and things will change!
I'd tend to think even Obama is worried at this point!

Then for him to NOT be at the Tomb of the Unknowns today!

That in itself says all I need to know of him.
And what I need to know of all that supprted that action.

Probably around the same time NASA pulls off an manned mission to Mars.

NASA can not send a manned mission there.
The Nazi's will shoot them down!

I doubt this will happen any time soon. The game is only 3 months old

if i recall correctly the way that it was worded means that it was not a legally binding obligation but rather just a promise they made to reassure customers and as such are not compelled by law to fullfill their promise in any legal way.

At 3 months it is already a flop in the PC games market. The DRM issue is a primary reason for this, but they also screwed up by releasing an unfinished product. A fatal marketing cocktail.
