The gawd-almighty merged DRM in Silent Hunter V thread

I love the various simulations that have been produced, but as a matter of principle I cannot buy into online registration that requires an internet connection to play. That would make it a rental.

Anyone familiar with the Amazon Kindle flap? The company sold online titles to download to the Kindle- digital books. One morning the owners woke up to find that Amazon had deleted the purchased content without authorization because the company had violated some copyright laws. Of course the company apologized after the customers rioted, but they did it nonetheless.

Piracy is an issue, but WallEye is putting the spotlight on the problem. At what point do you start objecting to mindless intrusion by either governments or corporations?
Benjamin Franklin said it best: "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. "

I. for one, will withhold purchasing this product until they come up with a better, less intrusive solution.
