How many will buy SH5 if DRM is dropped?

HOWEVER...


It seems to me that JCC asked you why you are posting here, not because you said you won't buy it, which is fine, but because you said you're not playing any Silent Hunter at all, and probably never would. So the real question becomes: Why are you even reading forums and threads devoted solely to Silent Hunter games? Most people only read forums devoted to things they are actually interested in.

Bla Bla Bla

I started playing Silent Hunter 2. I got it monthes before everyone else because at that time I was a journalist, and got a preview of the game so I could test the game and write an article about it, several monthes before it went out in the stores. I also played SH1 after SH2 as we had a non opened SH1 Commander's Edition in stock at the journal.

I loved SH3 when it came out. I even made friends that never played Sub simulators play the game.

I bought the SH4 Collector's Edition.

I have been playing SH since the fist one, thank you.

If DRM is dropped from SH5 I will not buy it. I would rather install SH4 and play the US side using Fall of the Rising Sun, or the German side using Monsun.

I have stopped playing SH as I consider that franchise dead. The same way I stopped playing the Ravenshield one (Ubisoft destroyed its unique complex gameplay). I stopped playing Ghost Recon (Ubisoft made the game a joke with GRAW and GRAW2 and only GRAW with the OGR Coop Mod is acceptable.. and does not even reach the talon of Ghost Recon + the two expansions pack that followed it). Same for Splinter Cell.

For each of those franchises (Ravenshield, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, Silent Hunter) I have been an avid player from the first versions of the game and I saw Ubisoft turn each of those to crap.

I will not buy SH5 even if DRM is dropped.
