If SH5 was a car would you buy it?

The comparison does not work. A car cannot be modded in the same way as a software application.

Also cars are necessarily built to higher standards re bugginess because if they get a serious bug/error it could kill the driver and passengers. The bugs and DRM insanity of SH5 wont actually kill anyone.

However the DRM thing is a serious issue in its own right since it deals with restricting the freedom of when and how one can use a particular product. Ubisoft are on very shaky legal footing because technically their product in SH5 contravenes description of trade goods acts in most western nations.

On the package it says you must have an internet connection, not that you must connect to a Ubisoft server. So anyopne can take their game back to the retailer they bought it at and get their money back. Its that simple.

Im holding onto mine because modders have already improved the game tremendously so i reckon it will end up very well modded, and consequently will one day be a great game.
