that and the fact that its naive to presume that a developer will support such online services infinatly for any title.
Mean what will happen if Ubi goes bellyup in a few years for example?
Dont think they will have time and the fund to make removal patch then :P
Or even worse, all that data storage and traffic will cost them money. So the longer we play the less profit they will make. Since the goal of any cooperation is making profit, its not unlikey we have to pay in the end for the OSP jsut to be able to play it.
There must be alot more of simular scenarios. Wich all comes down to that i dont trust any coorperation to provide such a system for free till infinity. And lets face these kind of games are still played after many years.

I have bought every SH game that has come our way, even buying extra copies to give to friends & relatives as gifts, but as good as this new SH5 looks, I will not buy it if it is DRM controlled. I do not have a stabile Internet connection, it disconnects without notice at different times of the day, besides I will not play a game that I have to jump thru hoops in order to play it. It just isn't right. I noticed there are a lot less computer games on the shelves of the stores now a days, compared to years back, probably because most games are so bad, the content etc. As far as I am concerned, the only game in town is the SH series, & I still play SH3 every single week. I do hope that Ubisoft wakes up to their mistake & does away with DRM before the game goes on the market, because it will surely kill sales, & even to do away with it at a later date will be too late, the damage to their sales will already have occurred. We all want the game to be a success, but it won't be with DRM. -Nightowl
