Can some one confirm this DRM thing - Surely it a joke

My uncle and I have always had a shared interest in WWII; we pass dvds of old documentaries and such back and forth, and I keep him in the loop about upcoming PC sims and wargames...

His favorite series has always been Silent Hunter (we've visited the Pompanito and the Drum, and he's toured U-505), he owns SH I-IV AND Destroyer Command, and he's always telling me about his latest patrol...

Well, he also lives way out in the country and is stuck with a crappy little sometimes-on modem connection. His gaming PC isn't even hooked up. I'm now going to have to tell him that this's the first Silent Hunter that he won't be able to play, and that's the saddest thing I've heard all day...

Thanks Ubi for looking out for your paying customers' interests. Maybe you should look up some broadband penetration statistics before you pull boneheaded moves like this.
