The gawd-almighty merged DRM in Silent Hunter V thread

So sad at hearing this news...

I didn't buy Dawn of War II and Empire Total War because of Steam and the idea of renting a game after spending £30 - 40 on it.

It looks like I won't be getting SH5. I was a big fan of all three series, but I still have SH4 and mods. It works without a CD in the drive and without internet.

I have to say I have switched to playing PS3 games now. There are no simulations or in-depth games like the SH series but at least the game is released relatively unbugged, you can play offline, online play is free and you own a disc that you can use whenever you like. Me and several friends have switch from the PC format.

I still have a love of simulations but the DRM is very offputting. So I think I will find myself playing the older generations of games like SH4 or Lock On etc rather than SH5 and the newer flight sims.

Sorry to SH5 dev team, this sounds like a stupid ubi idea and probably isnt their fault.
