SHV, Your Intentions 3 Weeks Before Release

TheDarkWraith · 02-22-10, 09:29 AM

For those of you that buy the game you are saying to Ubisoft and every other game developer that you support this type of DRM. Do you really want to convey that message? Think about this seriously.
Take a stand. Enough is enough.
I'm seriously considering standing outside Best Buy on release day with a big sign informing people what DRM type this game has and to not buy it.
I'm sorry but I used to like Ubisoft. Now all I want to see is them fail miserably. And this goes for any other software company that pushes this type of DRM on us.

I am buying the game, NOT to directly support Ubisoft, but to actually play a new game.....i am the last person that you would ever see "advertising" either by clothing or otherwise a particular company or a company's ideals or what they have to sell or stand for......believe me.....
It obviously is a "generalised" comment that you make about purchase, ie supporting Ubisoft, unfortunately you cannot generalise, or "pigeon-hole,
i get what you are perhaps "trying to say", technically you are correct in saying that i am supporting Ubisoft by buying the product, however i don't think it's fair to assume that i, or ( maybe some of ) those that purchase the game have anything other in mind apart from experiencing new gameplay, all unproven or otherwise "unplayed" negatives aside for a moment......
And, before you jump down my throat, i respect your viewpoints and wanting to stand outside Best Buy with signs etc etc.....you believe in something and you will fight for it, fine.
And yes, i have thought about it, many a time, how can i not, with continuously being informed of the DRM (issue), anti-piracy, unfounded assumptions, suggestions (quiet strong might i add in some instances) to not buy this product...both here and on other forums...........

And........after all that, guess what? Yep
i'm buying it.......still.
Not because i am pro Ubisoft or a suck-up.....
P.S. No, i'm not taking your comments personally......

Something like this, Racerboy?

Or maybe in yellow? Probably better for shock value

Think about this seriously?

I've been thinking about it... ...this is just a computer game.
