Default That warm fuzzy feeling.... so gone.

Fired up SH5 this morning to start the first of what I was hoping to be one of many real time patrols.

"You need an internet connection to play Sh5"

Really..... I have broadband cable. Apparently Ubi.com... andf the game servers are all on vacation. The only thing I can find is the Ubi Forums online. Everything else is down.

Riiiiight. Who's brillient idea was DRM again? I think every time my game goes down.. he should be refused oxygen.

Here we go for the kazillionth time.

Here's an idea moderators: Start handing out brig time for everyone who doesn't make a search before posting, especially for threads like this that we got dozens if not hundreds already.

And being a whiny bitch.

Gazzillionth? Really? They've been down a gazzillion times?

Funny.. I must have the only non-DRM copy in existance because I have only had a problem three times, and two of them were in the first two weeks after release.

Wow! A gazzillion is a lot, right?

What you don't realize, John, is that you really are the center of the universe, and every time you don't play they go down. of course you would have no way of knowing that...


Sorry, couldn't resist.

ROFL steve..... JCC just opened himself up to the sarcasm... which is what my post was above... sarcasm and not a personal attack (hence the smilies).

Yep, Its been no go for about a half hour now. The servers went down and took me out of my game. Thankfully Bioware isn't completely bat**** stupid about DRM and I can get some Mass Effect 2 in this morning.

I'm pretty sure they can tell by trying to play the game. And I'm ok with a heads-up to be posted, but for that we too have kazillion threads around.

Well, you have to expect it. When the server goes down... new thread. At least I'm not trying to jack up the forums with usless DRM bashing threads... although it's a good opportunity.

To me, asking a customer to pay $49 for a game, and then you the Publisher decides when the customer can actually play it is fundamentally wrong.
