Very true!

But if people here would keep all the comments/complains about DRM in 2 or 3 threads, it would be kinda easier to check it out, don't you think?

Meo, you are scaring me - we are starting to agree way too much for my liking.

[KL-alfman]

I second that.
all the DRM-issue-threads should be narrowed down to ~ 4or5. would make the board easier to read.

The SH3 devs said the same thing about the SH3 Harbour-Kit SDK in an interview that they will make it available to the community along with the game. And where is it today?

Well I'll just cross my fingers and hope it'll be different this time

I think we are too close to release for them to go back on that promise.

[urfisch]

hopefully the tools for sh5 they are speaking of, are already finished.

Yeah, unfortunately most of them will probably be of the "make the sub go 100 MPH" or "shoot 50 torpedoes at once" variety.

I suggest we get them in our hands before starting these specualtions...they have told us they will give us the same tools they have used to build the game, but that could again mean alot of things...

[AVGWarhawk]

Read the readme file.

[msalama]

Read the readme file.

Being the thick old me I either:

1) Missed the joke or
2) Missed the readme

So which one is it huh

PS. AAAAAAND it _is_ the SH5 readme we're talking about, isn't it?
PPS. Beer = good.

Indeed, it sounds like a good thing! I'm also confident in the ability of the SubSim community to police and organize mods through the forum and download page. I usually get mods from the SS downloads page, not from other sources, and look for mods that are at [REL]

Hopefully they're the tools the dev team has used to design much of the in-game content!
