The gawd-almighty merged DRM in Silent Hunter V thread

[OakGroove]

Still, I cannot understand anyone actually "liking" this OSP rubbish, it really holds no advantages for the player.

scrap "liking", insert "tolerating". I haven't met a single person, aside of the devil and his minions, who would like, or advocate this particular DRM with reason. In general, all that DRM implementations have "achieved" to date, is an increase in production costs, while making the experience less convenient for the consumer. Sometimes (early Starforce versions) this could translate not only into inconvenience, but also solid Hardware defects. DRM did, and does not prevent piracy. The evidence is right out there up for grabs. With every new title released.
