UBI SH6 will be called world of subcraft monthy fee is required tons of DLC too

Platapus · 01-26-10, 08:42 PM

Instead of DRM, UBI could include coded messages. One per month and we would need an enigma to decode them

Security+ immersion= good copy protection.

Still buying it, I have rarely bought a game in years that didn't need the net in some way.

Hasn't killed small market games like ROF, won't hurt Ubi in the slightest.

There are alot of people here with thousands of posts in a year or two who claim they don't have a steady connection... yeah... uh huh

Don't be so sure.
Remember what happened when music started to be sold with strict DRM?

The buyers got pissed off and it was soon dropped (after a short period
of the industry going into denial).

Not that we can be complacent...

Shoot! ROF is DRM too! ...and I had just put that one in my Amazon cart for later.

yea, But I think flightsimming is a larger market than subsims.

TarJak · 01-26-10, 09:05 PM

Do I get my money back if they corrupt my save games? I think not and therefore think not that I shall make a purchase of this until said DRM is removed.

Yeh the news just goes from bad to worse TJ!

Hope I did this right?
I voted "Not going to at all now" meaning, Ubisoft blew it, and I won't be buying SH5, no matter what they do.

Strike 1: Type VIIs only.
Strike 2: 33% of war missing.
Strike 3: Another protection system scam.

YOU'RE OUT, UBISOFT!
(No loss. SH5 was looking like less than ½ of SH3 anyway).

No, it didn't affect my purchase of SH5. It only confrimed that there wasn't enough there to interest me. So now, i REALLY know im not going to buy it.

It did however affect any future purchases. I do not, knowingly, buy single player games that require a constant internet connection to play. The whole reason i play single player games is to get away from the god damn internet. Hence, i seriously doubt i will be buying any future ubisoft products. For me to consider anything by ubi now, it would have to be REALLY REALLY REALLY good.

Sgtmonkeynads · 01-26-10, 10:47 PM

Yes it affected my purchase.
.........bought another copy of Das Boot instead, through subsim, so it's still win/win.

I agree with Ducimus.

I have never played any game on the internet and I am not going to start now.
