Well, just go download the last patch that turns off the protection.

@AVG - I'll be ordering as soon as I get my Debit card (switching banks). I cant wait to be able to watch the crew do their thing instead of trying to imagine it is happening. It should really fill in that gap that SH3&4 was missing.

And where are you going to download the patch in 10 years time???? ubi could be gone... and you will be left with a game that you cant use.

lol. OK. but thats only if ubi release a patch.... they have only said "thats the plan" not we promise to release a patch if our servers are turn off.

just an extra note :- if ubi go bust who will pay to have the patch made. if ubi are bought out .then the company that buys ubi might not surport SH5 and ubi will not own the rights to SH5 and would be breaking the law if they cracked it

Well, you'd install the game, it would validate on the servers and then the autopatching technology would download the patch from the server that meant it didn't have to validate the product on the server that had been shut down. Isn't it obvious?

It's a bit early to worry about the GAME I will be playing in 10 years from now...

Personally, I don't recall playing a 10 years old game, even those I've liked the most.

If Ubi bought out, If ubi go bust.

If If If If If If If If If If If If If If If... ...now back to the topic please.
