Im not big fan of DRM but it doesnt bother me.
I love the "I will not buy it until it's patched/modded" crowd. Sure, let the modders buy it, fix/alter it, put their money and time into it, and then buy it at a discount and complain about the mods not being perfect. Too bad modders can't charge for their efforts. We'd really know how expensive it is then.

Even payware mods get hacked.

I wrote in other topic that i'd rather pay modders for their version of SH than to Ubi.

So if you buy then you're working against the majority of subsim members.

I accept this is a controversial stance.....but surely it would be nice to help support your community ?

Cheers, UG
By purchasing a game that interests me I am "working against the majority of subsim members" Really?? Well forgive me if I don't lose any sleep over that

I dont like the DRM but im still buying it, for which I make no apology to you or anyone.

And Uber, I dont appreciate your attempt at manipulation. Please dont feed us the 'with us or against us' and 'moral majority' BS.
If 61% told you jump off a bridge would you do it?

For the record, even before the DRM you seemed to HATE SHV with a passion, (bashing it at every given opportunity) so much so that I am truley amazed that you are still around
Everyones entitled to voice his opinion and all, but my god, for the sake of us 39%... give it a rest man.

Lasty, I fail to see how boycotting the last surviving subsim franchise is 'helping the community'.
So we do our bit for the honest PC gamer vs the OSP weilding Publisher, fine - but at what cost I wonder?

Actually it was 61% of the people who chose to participate in an unscientific poll. Don't confuse that with 61% of the total population

And I should care about this for what reason? The opinions of the other people who post in no way influence my opinions. I respect other people's opinions, and expect people to equally respect mine. Considering someone who disagrees with a person group's opinion as "working against them" is, frankly, an immature and illogical attitude.

People should feel free to exercise their freedom as a consumer with respect to buying or not buying this game.
