This indicates a significant trend. Very seldom one sees such unanimous opinion.

Ubi, pay attention to the voice of your clients.

Brag, If you somehow turn out to be right, (about a 50% loss) then it may also have sealed the fate of the SH franchise.
So excuse me for not joining in any victory celebrations just yet.

I think Neal is getting the keys for this thread

If that happens there will be no reason to celebrate

We want Ubi to reconsider and save itself. They obviously did not think this thing through. Now, they are probably perplexed at the massive negative reaction

Well, even though I would be cautious about the impact that DRM will have on the sales (negative, yes, but HOW negative exactly ...) IF UBI should face such problems they would simply have to take a look in their own forum to read the reason why sales are low and a possible cure ( "The Holy Patch" ). If I was in management at UBI and my product would suck at sales I'd at least try to regain those that claim to hold out until the online requirements are dropped. Then all there is to do is hope that enough people notice and run happily to the store and buy SH5.
