Default How many will buy SH5 if DRM is dropped?

Very simple...only for the people who have not purchased SH5 yet!

Absolutely, without question. I bought SH4 while I was homeless, and didn't get to play it until several months later. I may end up hating SH5, and I may end up loving it. Probably somewhere in between, but I will definitely make that decision for myself, and I'll gladly support the effort, no matter what the outcome.

Can't say to be honest. Depends strongly on the modder scene here, whether they will turn SHV into a worthy successor to my supermodded SHIII. Unfortunately I don't have so much time to play, so I have to be very selective. At least in the near future this one will not end up on my desk. More likely I will reconsider in a year or so what the modding has added by then.

I voted yes, but it depends more on when I have a computer to run it rather than DRM, although DRM does play a small factor in the decision.

Not simple enough eh?

I still haven't changed my opinion, which is to buy it as soon as offline play is possible using an officially endorsed solution.

Hmmm. Still thinking...haven't decided yet. On one hand I'd love it if DRM was gone, it's the biggest reason I will not buy it. On the other hand Ubi wants our money yet their actions show a great disrespect for those that support them with their money. A business does not need to be run like that to make a good profit and for that reason, even with no DRM, I have big reservations about buying a DRM-less SH5. On yet another hand (if I had one) I love sub sims. On yet even more hands I barely have time to enjoy my favorite SH4.

So hands down my choice is... eh...I'll come back and click my choice when I can figure out what it is.

This will surely be the most prudent, carefully and most planned 50$ spent ever!

Yeah I'm thinking along those same lines. It's going to take more than just no DRM (the thing wasn't suppose to be there anyways), I guess I'll also need a big price drop. Either that or a miracle happens and Ubi decides to seriously patch it. If Ubi sends a couple more big patches our way, then I'll gladly buy it.

I'm confused on which way to vote. I returned my copy to Bestbuy for a refund about a week after it was released. But... a couple of days ago while haveing some beers with the Manager of my local GameStop.

He was thirsty so we worked out a trade. A couple of pictures (@ $9.00 a pop) and I helped drink them for a new very dusty copy of SH5.

I played it patched and modded for the first time last night.
