Why you are going to buy SH5 anyway

Didn't buy ROF.
They are now removing online DRM.

Won't buy SHV.
Watch this space.

I know for a fact that the events on this forum are making a difference.

The Subsim crowd stand by their word a little better than the MW2 rabble.

i totally agree

Well I have personally met 3 of the developers, and understand the time and pain they have gone through to make this game. I want to support them, as a friend, more than an anonymous company.

Not only that, but Silent Hunter 5 has so much promise, something I wish I could of contributed to, and as such, I'll contribute my part in purchasing SH5 and maybe release a mod or two, to the few people who do go ahead and purchase SH5.

I had dialup until last year, and I would, still purchase SH5 and deal with no phone for hours on time if I had to play. There's always my cell phone

No SH5 for dialup.

@Vanagen:

You assume this is a need, it is not. It is a want, a hobby. A disappointing loss but one I can easily live without.

Well for me, You're preaching to the converted
I was going to buy SHV from the moment I knew it existed.
and nothing changed there either.

People tend to bitch and indeed give in eventually, even if they have a choice.

i dont give in....
what i want, is an offline game, what ever the cost. even an extra 10 bucks.

i never said i wasnt interested or would not get SHV. in fact i am VERY interested.

Offline. Off the chain. Off the Hook. Free.

Well, take a pledge, then. On your honour. That you won't buy this game unless they remove all DRM.

Or maybe you prefer that they remove the online requirement and add StarForce?

Either way, I'll buy the game. Even with both forms of DRM. Even if they force me to play it naked with a carrot shoved up my, uh, ear. (I was going to do that anyway)

The thing is, in two months time, when everyone is playing the game and the forums here are full of people talking about their actual experiences in-game, good or bad, will you simply sit by and say: no, I'm still not buying it out of principle?

If so, as I've said three times before already, I'll take a few moments time to applaud you and tip my hat at you, then return to my boat and taste the soup.
