I don't care if it's a repost or not GR, I'm still chuckling good over it.

Actually, I feel very sorry for those who in the 21 century have a faulty net connection like in that video. Even those who live in Pitcairn have better net connectivity. It's sad ... really sad

And Actually, I feel very sorry for those who in the 21 century apparently still live in their parents basement without a clue as to the difficulties that others may face both financially and logistically. Even those who live in Pitcairn have a better sense of empathy for what others may face...but then again they also have to pay their own bills and perhaps travel for business so that they realize that not everyone has magically unlimited net connectivity. It's sad ... really sad that some of us suffer from such self-centered myopia

The joke is good, and I laughed, but I still don't care how good the connection is. Even if it's perfect it's still immoral.

I can understand why Ubisoft is doing this though
back then Ubisoft didn't use any form of copy protection for silent hunter, and lots of people pirated the game. DRM if you really think about it its just like a door lock, I have never heard of anyone complaining about the fact that their houses came with locks. So why should we complain about DRM?

And now, even if Ubi would release SHV without DRM, nobody would want to pirate it... LOL.

DRM is not like a door lock. It's more like having to contact the locksmith and waiting for his permission, everytime you want to enter your own home.

I thought about it, A lock protects your own property. The thing is, DRM is protecting Ubisoft's Intellectual property while wasting our system resources. And i used google and found tons of working cracks anyways. So DRM is simply annoying us
