The Press Blasts Ubisoft!

It's nice to see that Ubi will take some serious flak for their serious incompetance about the whole DRM issue. What they do need to realize is that a lot of piracy issues can be thwarted by simply releasing a Demo. I know a few friends who only download games, play em for an hour and then decide if the game is worth buying or not. Some of them play it longer but still, a DEMO with full features and a single mission or whatever goes a long way in helping your game. I, like most people, choose to make educated purchases and video games are no exception, and it's very difficult to make purchases based off of game play videos which are meant to highlight the platform. SH5 is NO different, the absolute lack of answers from Devs about the game and almost disturbingly bad game play videos make this a close no purchase. I will probably buy this, just to see if all this negative press is well founded, I can assure you that a single U-boat game is already a turn off for me.

And to those who will simply buy console versions of games, please remember you are perpetuating the death of PC gaming and supporting what truely is an inferrior method of game play for the majority of games that are not FPS games or racing/flight simulators which seem to be the few games that excel on consoles. Thats my opinion, take it how you like, but I can't stand consoles.
