The gawd-almighty merged DRM in Silent Hunter V thread

Its too bad it comes to this, (DRM) I don't like it, but I can certainly understand UBISOFT's position.

I know that if I created something (weather that be art,music, a computer game a book etc...) & put my heart into it, for both love of creating & for a profit; and then people started stealing it. Then I would go to great lengths to protect it. If I could not do that, I mean protect it & get a profit out of it, then I suppose I would give up. After all I have a family to feed like the rest of us.

I know from personal experience that many of our younger people (my children of whom I've spoke at great lengths to about this) do not understand the cause & effect of stealing intellectual property. Do it enough and the effect is a decline in quality.

The best anyone can be at anything, is highly motivated by money $$$$. And computer games fit nicely into that statement.

That is why most of the greatest creations the world has ever seen has come out of the United States. The country has created a haven, for people to create & make a profit. That is being chipped away at today... but I digress.

UBISOFT has to make a profit in order to continue making games of the quality that the Silent Hunter series has given us. Obviously that profit is being threatened by thieves, thus we now have DRM..

I strongly suggest that you support creativity. Buy it! the art, music, games, etc...and give the maker a good price for it, or else, if the artist can't make a profit, ...we all loose, and games like SH5 get a anti-theft collar like DRM or worse they may go the way of the dodo bird
