Some of us will push back by refusing to be part of at all. This does not mean we'll become part of the problem. Won't buy it, won't play it either.

Oh I agree, I'll be making my stand by refusing to buy it as well, heck, it's not as if I'm short on games! But there are people who will go the other way, and right or wrong, it will be Ubi's own doing.

Whether the individual decides to boycott the game because of the DRM or chooses to buy it despite having misgivings is entirely down to each individuals choice.

Turning to or supporting the position regarding piracy can not and should not be condoned in any way shape or form.

Just because I am not buying SHV or any other Ubi game because of the OSP does not make me part of the problem. I have no plans to obtain the game in any form until Ubi either releases it without OSP, or it hits the bargain bins where a $10 investment make me say so what if I can only play it online. It makes me an informed consumer making a choice NOT a supporter of software piracy.
