Look, my NDA allows me to say that I'm a RoF beta-tester and I can assure you the DRM can be a PITA. To be honest, not always but for some guys OFTEN. From time to time servers and/or your connection ARE down. It happens. I can tell you that since I've been an AcesHigh2 player for 6-7 years. When it happens ITS FRUSTRATING.

RoF (with the Dogfight dedicated servers) and AH2 are online simulations but SH5, AFAIK and in any case for me, is mainly an offline sim. This kind of DRM, for offliners IS an obvious problem. What will I do from my country house (no internet connection) if I want to play on my laptop? I'd curse UBI?

Players, through hundreds of posts made neoQB change his mind about it and they probably will drop it in the near future for offline playing.

You dont know how many people are waiting for this drop before buying RoF. Many of my friends are.

What about the old DVD in the player and a thick printed manual? What about Battlefront online activation? Or Steam? Players would prefer (and/or) accept these systems instead of the "always online" DRM.
