What feedback could you provide to me - on my relation towards online play and "renting" the games... and my preffered privacy... ?

If enough of us stand firm, Ubi's plan will fail. We are not alone. Because of the DRM launch we're up front. Lots and lots of gamers out there will also vote with their wallets.

Moo!

@ Steeltrap: Thanks for the Orwell reference. I had never read it, but his own illustration about 'dressing up' language reminds me of one I came up with a long time ago:

While it is theoretically true that one may direct a quadruped of the genus equus to a nearby source of liquid refreshment, it does not necessarily follow that one may coerce said equestrian to partake thereof.

I meant i thought i could provide my own feedback on the game itself what i thought of it and the level of play the realism and compare it to sh3 and sh4 but i have decided to wait and force ubisoft to change there ways. If they dont maybe i will change my mind down the line but for now some of the other members here are correct we need to wait I mean but for other members that want to buy the game I think thats great because they can provide feedback on the game and let us know how it is I guess its just dissapointing that ubisoft did this because this is the only game I was interested in this year thats coming out

For those who have been frustrated with the recent server issues here at subsim......imagine you just paid $50 for a video game and the same thing is happening.

You may only have a couple of hours that you can commit to playing SH5 on that day, and the servers are down when you try and access the site.

Classic!

My favourite variation on that is:

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it think.

Very useful in the office when trying to explain some people's behaviour/attitudes......

I say buy it, if you're so inclined, and feel free to report on its awesome gooey goodness center (once you bite through the nasty putrid DRM crust).

Realistically, one copy ain't gonna make a difference.

It might convince the rest of us to put up that much more of a stand against OSP, so Ubisoft might just relent that much sooner, so the rest of us can get along with putting money in Ubisoft's pockets.
