No doubt there will. And often the ashes of one disaster have become the start of a newer, brighter era in history. Patience will pay off.

The day UBI drops the DRM for SH5 will, be the day you will know there's no more support.

more likely it will be one day very soon that they will just turn off sh5 servers with no warning or explaining and NEVER remove the DRM to add the final insult to unhappy customers who dared to not drink their coolaid


as for all the missing posts, well they will use their standard lame excuse of saying cyber attackers did it

The ubi forums use eve software. eve software had an update a couple weeks ago that broke the login feature.

I would think that the latest problems are due to the previous forum updates.

And that day will see Pirated versions with fixes for the problem flood the Internet!
Not to mention the lawsuits brought by hungery Law type Beings.


Can you say 'Class action?'
Sure you can!

the problem is that you have absolutely no basis for a lawsuit since Ubi was very carefull to only imply you could be assured of server access and never guarranteed it would continue in the future

its that age old trick the legal dept uses when they say they "may" or "might" do or provide something instead of "can" or "will"

the legal mumbo jumbo "implies" everything but promises nothing so if your game is a coaster tomorrow they are free and clear and you have no legal recourse because of it.


as for pirates, well we all know that path is already there for those who wish to enguage in that activity

Any way you want to cut it, Ubi has the ball and is calling the next play. The score is Ubi 0, Failure 72. There are only two minutes left in the game but the next play is still Ubi's.

I look forward to the day when we can all sing "Turn out the lights, the party's over!" They are a large company with huge assets, but I have great faith in their ability to "screw the pooch" to put it in fighter jock vernacular. Wonder how they will blow this last play?

Certainly they have taken themselves out of any consideration for any non-kiddie popcorn games they might wish to publish in the future. They've become a competitor of Pop Cap games.
