It is amazing how a few people refuse to see or accept reality. I guess it happens inside the Ubi offices, too.

With Assassins Creed hobbled with DRM, the Ubi house of cards will collapse sooner than expected.

Yupp, bought it, played it, liked it. Then again, Anno did not freeze every now and then and informed me that all my progress since the last autosave was lost.

Even though you might not believe this, but an allways-on internet connection is science fiction. Just have windows monitor your precious 24/7 conection for a while with pings to google. There are small bumps in every connection, even in highly developed areas.

You should be careful. A few people are delusional and swear blind that they have played a game with this exact same protection system before without problems - even though it's never been done before. It's best not to try to rouse them to reality, unless you are trained. They might become violent.

I would be paying almost twice as much than anyone in USA this way. This is bull.

Now THAT'S PIRACY!

I'm neither angry nor frustrated regarding this game. Seriously. I have two little boys about to start baseball again this season. Their scrimmage games start this weekend.

I'm gonna be busy and can live quite comfortably without SH5 on my computer. Don't get me wrong. I would have been more than happy to buy the game. But. Yeah. We know the reasons for the boycott already.

Yeah, right, sure it will! I especially love the fact that Steam distributated games are usually double the cost of a retail box, available from Amazon UK for instance. No thanks, Steam can go take a running jump, I will not be ripped off.

That's what I'm talking about, and incidentally, I got STO for £17.99 via Amazon UK! You would assume that digital distribution would save you money, but in fact it is usually more expensive. I refuse to buy anything via Steam that I could get elsewhere for a lot less.

I finally reached an EULA with my wife for buying a new system.
The system I had an eye on for 2 months is suddenly out of stock and is not coming back, I'm pretty angry

Can you give details? Do you have a daily limit, dish washing/laundry for bonus?

But Steam was the only place I could get UBM.

Except for the part where Steam wouldn't talk to me. I couldn't download anything from them because I'm outside of their 'zone of influence'. Oh, I'm in Salt Lake City, Utah. I guess that's not part of the United States.

I did finally get it when SH4 Gold was released...on disc.

Perhaps it wasn't as widely distributed on release, I had no problems finding it on Amazon for a little over £5, new and factory sealed.

You couldn't download at all? See, this is why I avoid Steam, they have such damned odd policies. Not to mention their rubbish distribution servers, which chug along like a dial up modem.

Nope. The only copy I could find was on Ebay. From Hong Kong. $30 US.

Then Gold was released and all was light and joy again.
