Will the DRM affect your Purchase?

You're WAY to positive to be just a subsim fan. Are you sure, "The General" does not just cover a manager position in the Ubisoft coorporation? Meaning you just have to try and pursuade anybody to buy it, plus asking somewhere else for having negative comments removed... Just wondering. Otherwise, I must say you have a patience beyond normal behaviour to accept all the crazy ideas which have been revealed lately.

Anyway, as I see it now: No complete uboat types avavilable, no complete war available, and enforced online play, all of this makes it a no-go for me. I may buy it, if released as planned, when it's at give away prices like 5 € / 50 DKK. And even then, I'll check for player reviews first, and maybe any mods, if there even will be any...

I still think the DRM rumors haven't proven true. Something is amiss here.

Can understand to validate the game on-line durring installation. To verify - register of course. Online for multi-player sure - my son plays the latest COD with teams all the time for christs sake. But nobody saves those games. MontiCristo's new CitiesXL has a community 'planet' service as an option, but also a solo version.
To insist a game must have internet access for saves and general solo play is a form of tyranny. And I would absolutly refuse to purchase any title, from any company under those condidtions.
I can be a stubborn ******* but also a dedicated subsimer just like the next guy here. This DRM, that type of control over my purchases, my time, and my files is out of the question, and completely unacceptable under any circumstances no matter what the title.

What more proof do you need than the Director of Customer Service and Production Planning at Ubisoft and an official UBISoft community manager?

From the Gamespy article I linked to earlier in this thread:

"Your saves will be stored remotely on Ubi servers"
