This thread is full of win.

It's funny how SH4 came out with a NO CD patch.. accidentally if I remember correctly.

I own all previous versions of SH as well as Destroyer command.

If I cannot play SH5 on my laptop away from an internet connection I will not buy it.

Why release it on disk at all?

You cannot use your bought and paid for product unless they say so?

Requiring an internet connection is little different than pay to play.

I encourage all not to support this type of DRM.

Good stuff

Hmm, No CD needed - then why do I have to go to the shop to buy a colourful box with an unnecassary CD in it -

Why not go the whole way and simply put the whole thing online and charge a monthly or annual subscription fee

Not my preferred method!!! - but does seem to be the logical thing - Just thinking out loud

Though not customer friendly, Ubi still wants to be loved by you. So they give you something to touch and get that warm and fuzzy feeling

Are there numbers available on how many ppl suffered from cd/dvd detection problems?
Just out of curiosity.

If I wanted an MMO, I would buy an MMO. At least with these, a permanent internet connection is logical!

This NO CD in drive thing has to be one of the lamest, weakest reasons to be collared by the neck to such a draconian system. I can`t believe people think `Not having CD = Losing my independence with my game` is good.

How much effort does it take to pop the thing in the Cd tray and run, then pop it back in the box or just leave it?

It`s almost like having the government stick surveillence cameras in your home so you don`t have to keep an eye on the kids!

This DRM is wrong and should be illegal. UBI is trying it on, using legal loopholes.

And by the way, this is happening BECAUSE of spyware like Steam. They`ve seen how many of you lap it up and now UBI are doing their own, more extreme version. But Steam also touted the `No need to use CD` crap as well.

This is how these things happen, because YOU, the customer, LET it happen. It will only get worse unless YOU, the customer, do not pay them for this DRM crap.
