The Reason Why DRM Didn't(!) Fail

Dear all,

I have to start a new thread because almost everybody here believes now that SH5 is cr***ed already and that DRM is a big failure.

Here's the reason why I'm convinced, it's not:

All of you didn't purchase a complete game, but only fragments of it. The (illegal) copies are fragments, too. Therefore it makes perfect sense for UBI not to put any efforts in preventing pirates from removing the 'staying online' requirement. At some point, the game needs data from the web to continue, that's the point where the cr**k will fail.

So, honest buyers will still have to deal with the DRM-restrictions, but they are not 'outplayed' by owners of illegal copies

Cheers
