While we shouldn't be personally insulting each other, we also shouldn't be happily forking over money and acting like Ubisoft is doing us a favor either.

You're being treated as a criminal by Ubisoft and you're having to pay for the honor. You're under house arrest. The instant your paid for game goes off line (or the instant Ubisoft's notoriously badly run servers do the same) you get cut off from using the product you only really "rented" at full purchase price.

How everyone is not outraged at this is beyond me. Why anyone would want to support this kind of penalty against paying customers is beyond me as well. Yet in this thread several people are downright PROUD to support the most ill conceived and ridiculous DRM policy ever put in place.

Personally I won't really affect me. I have high speed constant connections at home and at work and I don't travel with a laptop or anything (though the few times I have SH3 was on it!). But at the same time it's painfully clear that Ubisoft is directly attacking their paying customers in the name of fighting piracy and this system is NOT the way to protect their product.

That's why I'm NOT buying this product while Ubisoft treats their customers like criminals while the real criminals get to enjoy their games just fine.*


* as in those that simply hack the game, not the few who buy the game and don't realize how bad an idea this DRM thing is.
