I've tried asking Ubisoft if they have altered the DRM so that it doesn't require a constant internet connection, but they tell me that the DRM hasn't changed. So I'm not sure what to make of it. I guess it is a step in the right direction, but I'm still on the fence.
I've wanted SH5 since I heard of it, but then the DRM stuff started and really turned me off. Then all the problems with the game surfaced and I wasn't so sad about missing out. But now that I hear there is a mega mod coming out for it, that it would appear a constant internet connection is no longer required, and the price is at $10 on amazon, I'm really struggling with the decision. Do I give in to ubisoft? Should I wait until ubisoft offically patches out any trace of the DRM (whenever that is)? I just don't know what to do. |

I have a dream: That in the second Ubi drops their idiotic DRM 100s of people instantly buy SH5 to set an example of customer power. I know this won't happen but us two and Steve makes at least 3 people who would try to make a stand - I hope there's more out there. So the profit margin Ubi makes from the product is lower then, tough **** - they should have done so before. |

I think I will hold off buying silent hunter 5 until the DRM is completely gone. Not requiring a constant internet connection is a step in the right direction, but I still can't give in to ubisoft until they completely remove it. I've waited this long, I can wait a little longer. Then perhaps when I do finally get to start sailing a U-boat again, SH5 will be a even better game.

That's what started this thread in the first place.

About time that PC Gamer caught up to SubSim. It only took them six weeks.

I side with mookie. They burned me with SH4 when I did a pre-order to get the colllectable that was one step below the Tin can version and sent me the basic one. And when I complained via email they, basicalily said tuff luck.
To add insult to injury some members got it at retail outlets at the same time as my pre-order. As what happened with SH-5. I know I got mine at BestBuy 2 days before the pre-order. Luckily Iwas able to return it and get my 60 bucks back. The only good thing that has come out of SH-5 is the new members at SubSim and the FANTASTIC mods that have somewhat fixed the game and made it more playable. btw I repurchased SH-5 out of the" bargain bin" thru SubSim at Amazon. Ubisoft This time and in the future.... You Lose. There's an old saying.... Burn me once, shame one me. Burn me twice, shame on you!!! Well you ain't gonna get a second chance... |
