Well, Ubisoft did remove all DRM from Prince of Persia because of problems they were having with the DRM back then. So it's not like there are no precedents here.

they will do like the politicians do and just stop answering the phones, then say "we havent heard of any problems" because if you dont answer the phone you're telling the truth

We are right where we started...either playing SH3 or SH4

My Plan:

1. When it is released read all the reviews to see if it is even CLOSE to a real simulator.

2. IF it is a good sim, I will wait months until the price hits close to bottom.

3. I will buy it for cheap and store it away. DRM sux ballz you know.

4. When UBI drops DRM and releases a patch, BINGO! I play.

The core issue is OSP/DRM.
The fight against these systems started before we got invvolved. It is a fight bigger than us and we do make a difference. Ubi will lose sales. It may take them a while to realize we don't roll over like tame dogs.

Sinse the fight against DRM and the like is a matter of basic freedoms, the suits at Ubi will find themselves on the losing end.
