Haha, now that sounds like a UbiPropaganda Dept:

"If we make no profit with our new release of SH 2 and 1/2 we shall never release a subsim again, and you will have to play SH3 and 4 till the end of eternity and one day longer!!!"

Sure, there are no other subsims in this league. But does that mean that Sh5 should be bought no matter what? Even if it turns out to be a half-finished console product?

And I canceled my preorder as well. I've learned my lesson with SH3 and 4. Until modders really repaired the games they were really betas.

someone else started a new thread and new poll to reask the question now that ubi has announced sh5 is online play and online saves only.

i think most people who have already voted (including me) will have something different to say

thats an absolute no sale no way no how for me, i see sh5 heading straight to the $5 bargin bin now

Guilty!

but can't change my vote?

I didn't mind the irrelevant and minute details like war ending in 43, "only" 1 sub etc. as I considered SH V to be a new exciting template to fill... but this DRM thing? I wouldn't mind going online to activate and register SHV, but can't live with being demanded to stay online all time and keep my saves on others servers. It will cause trouble...

Preorder cancelled.

Funny that Apple dropped DRM because “I think the writing was on the wall, both for Apple and the labels, that basically consumers were not going to put up with D.R.M. anymore,” http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/07/te...s/07apple.html

?? that one is about DRM, not when we are buying the game.

XLjedi · 01-26-10, 07:41 PM

Uh ohh... did someone say it's a steam-type DRM?

I have to admit, that gives me pause.

I would've said that I'd be happy to pay $50 for a release day purchase same as SH4, but if it's another steam title... Maybe there'll be a gold or platinum version some day without the DRM.

i think they just said it was being advertised at the steam site implying it would be sold through steam with the speculation/hope that it's a steam-type DRM

@ Lectum yes its "Will the DRM affect your Purchase" so its not exactly the same but at this point isnt THAT the key question

@ carotio if you want to start a new thread and pole on this then thats cool with me, but i dont see the need for it (ps - polls cant be reset or deleted)

Most games sold on steam and not on steam keep their DRM the same on both.

For example; games that where released off steam with starforce where
released on steam with starforce also (in cases where the game was
released on both platforms simultaneously.

I'm not ecstatic, but I'll buy it. I will read some reviews first, though, but they'll probably not deter me.

Yeah, I know. I can edit the first post, but not reset the poll. I will make a new one later, write the link in this post and then you can close the thread.
