there totaly killing the pc gaming world as a enjoyment on my part..

it's just like all thing's in life when they try and put barrier's in place to stop criminal's, it ends up hurting us more (the loyal gamer).

i realy hate all this online buy,download,play that is all over the place...prime example being steam!

i take enjoyment in collecting certain title's in the cases. or phyisical shipment as the sites put it....as i saw one chap said in this forum, what happen when the popularity drops below a level where it becomes to costly to run server's? do you realy think they'll keep pumping out cash so a hand full of people can play a game? no i think not..

.WE need the freedom to buy the game, and be able to play it when ever and where ever we want....i mean come on! it's bad enough in most cases to get the patch's/support to get the game to run...and that's not even thinking of the multiplayer side of things..

i dont blame the games industry in trying to protect there products, but they could do it in much better way's...

this is such an important topic that should be wide spread, or pc gaming is gona die out.

When I found out about the game ending in May 1943 and there only being one U-boat I was annoyed but quickly got over it. I have been playing since SH2 and was determined to make the best of it and assumed that there would be DLC or Mods to add the extra content.

But this new Online DRM has completely ruined the game and I have not even played it yet. I understand that Ubi has to protect its self against piracy but this is too much. Why punish gamers in this way, it will not bother the pirates who will crack the game within a few days and avoid the online rubbish.

My only hope is that Ubisoft will read the backlash on this and the official forums and the Assassins Creed forums and reconsider what I can only see as a complete disaster.

This DRM has all the disadvantages of STEAM and none of the benefits.

I can imagine the complete chaos on the 4th March when thousands of gamers attempt to play SHV for the first time, I will not be one of them.
