they all sound like politicians accentuating a particular kind of positive, but who's positive is it, their's or ours?

The only eason to recall a save game on another computer might be, say, pulling up your desktop PC campaign on your laptop—sorry, but Ubi doesn't allow portable computing unless they have a perfect net connection!

They are so idiotic. You want to play, and Ubi is updating the server and you are SOL. Do you feel like smashing something at that moment, yes, or no? For me the answer would certainly be "yes." I'm not paying money to get all POed when the likely frequent server errors make it impossible to play.

In researching DRM, every gamer forum I have visited (there are gazillions of them) is like a mirror image of this one. Everyone is upset and bitching over Ubi's decision to go DRM.

The discontent is broad enough to put Ubis future very much in doubt. If I was a Ubi shareholde, L'd be bailing out.

The utility of online savegames is also very much suspect given that almost no one here is going to play an unmodded SH5, and savegames are very much peculiar to particular install. Consequently, you're not going to able to play at a buddies house if he's got Hi_Rez Soup_Textures_V3 enabled and you're still runnning Hi_Rez Soup_Textures_V1.
