Suggested Antipiracy Weapon For Ubi (merged)

Brag · 01-28-10, 09:31 AM

As this article indicates, we are not the only ones outraged by Ubi's OSP (DRM by another name) decision.

As pressure mounts in other sectors, Ubi will feel the pressure of its clients voting with their wallets.

Keep up the pressure, cracks are showing

Stay solid chaps.
If we don't back down, we will force them to.

Good news.
We don't want any single player games with "always online DRM" policies!
We shall make all the noise we can.

I do not know how it is with the other versions of "The Sims 3", but here in Germany, EA would had exactly the same idea with this game, you should be only able to play it if you use a permanently online connection to the EA servers. This announcement has led to low preview ratings long before the release e.g. at Amazon.de and others, and there were mass cancellations of pre-orders at various online retailers.

In the end, EA has released the game here in Germany without these DRM and it became a sales success even with the pirate copies of this game.

the more noise the better we keep on them never back down from a fight never stop fighting till the fight is done mush morton would have kept on fighting and we have to do the same even the german crews kept fighting when it was pure hopeless they werent doing anything but getting themselves killed but what they still went out there we need to keep there legacy alive

Ahaha, love the sig Letum.

Brag · 01-28-10, 10:34 AM

Letum's sig is the winner, so far

Lanzfeld · 01-28-10, 10:44 AM

It's "bought" not "baught" but still a great sig.

And "paid".... great sigs, but getting the language right adds weight to them.

Cheers

That was sloppy of me. Fixed.

Thanks for the positive feed back.

Guys, Rise Of Flight players made neoQB re-thinking their (always online) DRM system.

It will be probably abandond in one of the next patches (they release a patch every month).

Silent Hunter community is so HUGE compared to the RoF one. You can do a lot if you hold on.

TO THE STREETS!!!

I'm willing to put up with everything being online as long as there is absolutely no intrusive DRM installed on my system and something of a promise of online multiplayer on the horizon.
