That counts as a connection

you guys are grasping at straws at this point, i.e. if I understand the latest argument correctly, we should not buy SH5 because:

1. Ubisoft may go bankrupt in 5 years; and/or
2. Ubisoft may shut down the SH5 servers in 5 years.

All of these events may be true, but I could also be run over by a car/die in a plane crash/be killed by my ex-wife in 4 years and/or be playing SH6 in 3 years, so that is not a good argument why I should not play SH5 now.

Its a bit like saying don't go spend $100 at restaurant ABC tonight, because it may be bankrupt in 2015......

.....that may be true, but I am hungry now.

I think the better argument is to not buy SH5 out of principle...which I am all in favour of, since it means the servers will be less busy when I play......

By telling the whole board, - including me - to shut the **** up?

Dude get off the Board and do something meaningful. Kick the Cat maybe.

+1

The MPAA is right there with them for movies.

Agreed, it is not a non-factor at all. However, if they put some of the time and money they spend on DRM (and it is not cheap!) into making better games and coming up with 'services' that customers really want instead of bugs and limitations they like to call features, they might sell more games. And lastly, don't say things like Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello said, in essence: Half of the people who protested Spore's digital rights management (DRM) were actually pirates and the other half were people caught up in something that they didn't understand.
So I am either a pirate or I am stupid.
I haven't bought an EA game since...

I know, it's just sad to see a game I'm so excited about being hated.

How have you been Bob, weren't you in Luxembourg for a time??
Did you get married or have you proven smarter than I

I redid the old BoB missions for Foute Man in ETO because of all the help he was back in 04 painting like crazy but that was my final debt to that sim. They did a great job on the airfields.

My Logitech steering wheel (accelerator actually) broke so no more F1 racing until I get a new one so SH3 GWX3 has been where i still hang out.

Now it looks like I will not do SH5 unless UBI gets to an ER and fixes their brain clot!

Neither am I or a great number of people here but I honestly think the post title chosen was not a wise one.

But I have planed the shipping to be week later.
In that time I can see more gameplay vids and reviews.
In that time I can make a good decision.
And also what do you think the problem will be with DRM.

What do you think it will be like?
