If that is our future then it's a future without me :s
Man that sucks. But take comfort in knowing that one day SH5 will be DRM free. So you didn't waste your money.

This S#$cks!!!
I was delaying the purchase of my new pc for SH5.
Just to be sure to buy the right hardware.

I will never agree on buying a game witch needs constant online connection.
I'm never online while playing a game.
Playing offline has the advantage of switching of my virus-scanner and firewall, increasing the overall performance.
Also, I do not wish to save my data online.

I hate these so called 'terrorist protection needs' excuses.
It's all and alone for gaining even more money for big companies.
Collecting all kind of data about your customers and their habits and then selling that data for big bucks.

Is this the way to say thank you for purchasing legal software?
What fool I've been for always paying for my games.
UBI, your attempt to stop piracy is pushing even more people to the wrong side of the line.

I will not buy SH5 as long as this form of DRM is active.
Sad, I was very happy at first when the new game was announced.
Now I'm left behind deeply disappointment.
Thanks for that.

@ enigma, smoke and so many others:
be assured the majority of this board feel the same way:
disappointed and disillusioned.
but we have hope still!

UBI can't make this true.
they will abort their OSP sometimes. and then we are ready to buy.

So...we go from the Starforce abortion of SH3 to this? That's money saved, I guess, as I won't ever pay for software with that kind of BS.

Thanks anyway, UBI...I'll skip the intrusive BS. Hope it works out for you. LOL!

It's unfortunate. However, to be frank if this is the new norm for Ubisoft titles than whether SH5 succeeds or not is irrelevant to me because I won't be purchasing SH6 7 or 8 either so long as this system in place.

I own every title of the SH franchise up to this point, and have hooked several other people on it as well, and they all take the same view on Ubis new "services".

Wow...

If this is true, I fear I may have to vote with my wallet and not pay for the game.

Default DRM

If DRM is used in SH5, I will not buy it, Period. It will be the 1st SH series that I won't buy. This is the last straw. I don't care how good the game turns out to be. When I play my games, I turn off my Internet connection. I don't want any updates, etc coming on while I am playing games, they can find some other way to protect their games than DRM. Thank You.

I am so freaking done with corporate BS. All the bailout money, now corporations have won the power to finance any candidate in any election...It never ends. Corporate BS.

I will not buy this game if I have to remain connected your servers, I don't care how much eye candy you wave at us. The mod community has done more for this series than you ever will

That's the catch 22. Without "THEM" there is nothing for the mod community. I love and respect every single guy and gal that can do things to make my games better, but there is only so much they can do with the tools they have.
The recent events of the Sh5 threads can not be helping the protest for Sh3's SDK to be handed over to modders, so there's another catch. In the long run, we will be playing the same 50 year old sim 40 years from now.

For those not in the know:

The IL2 Pe2 addon from Ubisoft had a spyware program in the .exe.
It reported to Ubi how long the game was run for and what other games
where detected on the user's PC as well as other info.
It used a lot of memory and caused crashes ever 20mins. or so.

You can imagine how the IL2 community reacted.

Default No Thanks

I was psyched and ready to buy. No more ... I'm taking a stand against this kind of stuff. I'll buy only from companies that that DONT do this.
