The DRM is the only real stumbling block for me. But there have been more than a couple of members who like the idea, or at least don't hate it. To call them sheep is narrow-minded to say the least. Not everyone who disagrees with you is an idiot. Possibly not even wrong.

Others have posted similar challenges, and you may be right. I think it already looks like an awesome game, and I really want to buy it. But I won't, because I won't be told how to play the game I payed my money for. And that's the truth.

Dont worry stewie, il get you a permanent internet connection by airmail!

Won't matter, I still won't buy it or play it. Matter of principle.

Stewie?

That nickname might stick... with a little help.

Hmmm....Sailor Stewie?

Well after consideration.... I have cancelled my pre-order of SH5 with the supplier

. DRM (which I expieriences in ROF) is not for me. I own every SH until now. I really want to own and play this game, but not with DRM.

So I am hoping that UBI see that DRM is not the answer and scraps this idea. I really like the look of the game and the new ideas that have been put in it. Like many others.. I just dont like the DRM.......

So sorry UBI another lost sale until DRM is dropped.....

As you can see under my user name I live in Morris, Illinois which is about 70/75 miles as the crow flies to Chicago where my AT&T High Speed Internet connection starts. I've had this Telephone/Internet combo for the past four years. I'm very sure they ( AT&T ) have maintenance periods when they are down but so help me I have never experienced a down time on the Internet in all this time. Lucky? Yes very lucky but my point is there is no way on this GODS green earth will I agree to a Internet company ( UBI nor any other ) making me ask them if I can play my game when I choose!

If all Hell breaks loose in the near future and Internet games are played this way, then I'll no longer be buying any new games as I've plenty to be played OFFLINE.

Besides I'm a model railroader in DCC HO scale and have a rather large layout that is 8 years old and does not require online connection period.

That can very much override this silly greedy DRM/OSP dreamed up funky idea.

Some computer geniuses just can not leave a good thing alone.
