Yes, go eat now. But pay the bill up front, before you are served. If the quality is lacking, there will be no refund. If the kitchen catches fire and is unable to serve you, there will be no refund. If Your order is served late, there will be no refund. If the waiter sneezes on your plate, there will be no refund.

Oh, and each time you take a bite of food, the waiter will be stopping by to check your receipt to be sure you paid for it. If your waiter is not available, you will need to stop eating until he is available. We cannot guarantee that your waiter will be available at any specific time.

Thank you and enjoy your meal.

Yea me the same...
Hung around CFS3 untill i did a 25 Gigs install of Stock+Maw+extra Mods, then went the IL-2 route, then their Mods.
in paralel discovered SHIII, and during a six months without a Job (2005) went hunting like mad.

Life is better now, except for
-Cloudcomputing,
-a lack of sex
-that stinkin DRM that pops up everywhere.

And no, i aint planning to get married. Maybe i will marry a Fw-190 for FSX sometime, or a 110...

Always appreciated your presence, and glad to meet you here, back in the thick of the Battle.

Why I think the small group keep yammering "buy buy buy- preorder preorder preorder" is...

Misery Loves Company. Simple as that.

I don't understand what the question "What do you think the problem with DRM bill be?" has to do with the actual poll choices. What my connection is like has nothing to do with the problem I see with this concept. Physical problems? Sure. But that has nothing to do with the reasons I will or won't be involved with monetary transactions related to obtaining this particular item for personal enjoyment. Those problems are strictly moral.

And I think Steamwake had the best take on this whole subject.

P-38 and P-47 are my birds of choice. S!

And do you remember the Boonty Box fiasco with the PE-2 add on? More UBI DRM fail...

That may be true, but I am buying a meal not a house. I would never make a $1,000 investment on the conditions Ubisoft is trying to impose, but $50?, I spend more than that just taking my wife out for lunch.

You have to keep things in perspective. Many PC gamers will spend, say $200-300 on a video card which they will upgrade in 12-24 months, but how many will say today: "I refuse to upgrade my video card since it will be obsolete in 5 years".

Let's assume what all the doomsayers are saying is true and all the servers are shut down in 2012 leaving me with a totally useless copy of SH5. You will all be able to say: "We told you so!!!". At that point, I will be forced to admit I was wrong and that all I got for my 50 bucks was a full 24 months of playing the latest SH at an average cost of $2.00 a month.......

.....mmmm, ....tough choice....

HundertzehnGustav · 02-16-10, 05:18 PM

never had that... i went from PF to 46 straight...
He, the IL-2 GOD, has left the sinking ship that Ubisoft appears to be, and is walking his own path...

ERPP8 take a deep breath.

If you have no problem with the DRM then good for you, buy it but don't complain when it destroys your enjoyment of the game.

The question should be is there any need to disrespect other members as much as you have with the title of the thread?

2012 shut down for good...
But only because by that time nobody is using SHV any more...
the previous "3 months maintenance breaks" in summer 2010, winter 2010/2011 and a loss of all Data in spring 2011 have already driven users back to SHIV/SHIII
