The gawd-almighty merged DRM in Silent Hunter V thread

[scrapser]

Just wanted to throw this in. Bioshock 2 is out and many are very disappointed because you can't even save your game unless you are online! That's right, if you play the game for hours and cannot save your progress because of a bad Internet connection you're SOL. Brilliant!

I really hope this trend dies a quick death.

Create an offline account, problem solved.

That doesn't work with Bioshock 2. You simply cannot save the game unless you are actively connected to the server. You can play offline after installing the game and setting up an account but you cannot save the game unless you are logged on to the server. This has a lot of people very upset.

I don't think SH5 has gone this far but they are getting close...like one step away from the looks of things.

No, SH5 goes further. You can't save unless you are logged in, because you can't play unless you are logged in.

Well then SH5 and Bioshock 2 both have the same set up. I know it's only two titles being discussed here but it does look like this is where things are headed for all.

This whole thing is starting to remind me of the movie, "THX 1138".
