Ubi wants to drag new players into the genre and thats a very good thing. God knows the genre needs more. many of the new players will probably HAVE to play with easy options. At least till they get the gripes on the TDC and other stuff
I will never give in to total control from anyone or anything... ever. No matter what the deal is.

Ubi will use OSP for all games, not just for SH5. Yes I agree there will be a conflict between the need to advertise this niche game and the potential downfall of the unborn SH5 community.

But in my view, Ubi makes the games so they can do whatever they want with them. You don't need to "swallow" this, you can just keep your money. The guy who took this decision clearly stated that they base their hopes on the fact that MOST people have internet access. So yes, they agree that they slap the others on the face.
What's sad is that the devs got caught in this too. It's clear that they will loose sales no matter how good the game might be. It's clear that Ubi will have to change its mind later on so it's sad that SH will get hurt just because it's one of the first game to have this "feature".
