Yeah sure...these naysayers will be making that purchase a few weeks after release or when it is half price.

You know how many bargin bin skippers were created when SH3 was $9.99? SH4 has it bargin bin skippers also. SH5 will have it closet purchasers skippers and bargin bin skippers.

I'll buy it no matter what the price...when I can play it.

Until then?

You will see Steve. The mods will start coming out. You already posted in the first thoughts mod thread in SH5 mod forums. Folks are already going, "Hmmmmmmm......I wonder if....." It is only a matter of time and the naysayers will have it.

A lot of folks have made a principled decision to not buy it with DRM. I don't think previews or mod discusssion will sway them. If the DRM goes away, they'll happily jump on board.

The nitpickers, I think, are a relatively small bunch. I think they'll likely will go ahead and buy the game anyway.

i bet the people on the Titanic said the same thing when they watched those silly people get into the lifeboats just because the ship bumped something.

EDIT: I'll answer here since the thread has moved on, by nitpickers i mean those who question things and not just ignore them and only see things they like. another way to describe nitpicking is to notice what isnt done correctly

I'm not quite sure what you're getting at. By 'nitpickers', I mean the folks that greet every screenshot with cries of "epic FAIL!!" Do you mean to say those folks are ones seeing things clearly and taking to the lifeboats and those trying to see the positives are the ones foolishly going down with the ship?

not trying to pick a fight, I just didn't understand your comment.

With DRM Ubisoft can give SH5 away and I don't want it.

It's that simple. I buy games I can play anytime and anywhere.

Without internet connection.

This is madness!

Oh, I wouldn't say that. They can give it to me for free, and then tell me how and when I can play it. As I haven't paid anything, I'll gladly accept their DRM. But once I've got my card out, the issue is a hell of a lot different!

Sounds interesting, don't keep us waiting too long!

Oh, I'm very excited about all of this. I especially can't wait to see how the ships are named in the files. I have 10,000 specific names ready to apply to the correct models.

But if I can't even load it up to do that?

No, you'll see.

As we have seen over the years here at SS, the creative juices just can not be stopped. It will not stop with SH5. SH5, although arcade like, has the most potential for modding (per the developer) and DRM is not forever.

And that's the line I'll wait to cross.
