How many will buy SH5 if DRM is dropped?

No DRM? Yes... absolutely... I would buy it.
I don't want Ubisoft to go out of business...
I just want them to start thinking a little more clearly.

I doubt very much that SH5's sales figures will harm Ubisoft's bottom line in any meaningful way.

Even though it has problems I will buy it if DRM is dropped, I have SH2, 3, and 4 (with UBM), but at the moment I couldn't play 5 if I wanted to, so yes!
BTW Jim, have you got it? If not would you get it?

But if all of their games have this type of DRM then overall it may make a huge difference.

You're most probably correct, I wouldn't argue with that. Otherwise they wouldn't have pushed it out that early in the production cycle if they hadn't already decided that could win or loose anything with it. It would be nice to see the sales figures, though.

What did Chamberlain dream about Hitlers foreign politics after annexing Austria and Czechoslovakia? Ubisoft has a history, and a commitment to economic success, making sure the investments return most profit that will benefit stockholders. It's not a dedication to making games of any kind... After SHIV release you could predict how SHV would go...
