No Connection/Dialup only/Hate DRM

Oh I have quite a lot of dropouts, I'm 5.5km from exchange, the broadband limit is 5km, so depending on weather conditions the connection will drop out, that is why I put the third option, although I myself voted for number 4.

Hi Reece

The high chance of being thrown out of a mission at least once - this is what certainly would spoil my experience. And - anger is not good, if you try to get away from the real world, is it ?

In your case, there is even a higher chance, that you even may not start the game at all.

But UBI decided not to care ...

I have great connection,cudos to my isp.Rarely do i lose it(maybe 1 a month tops for an hour becose of maitenance),but u have to draw the line somewhere.Regarding games i only play simulations;il 2,lock on,and sh series(my favourite),and it pains me to say that i will skip this one.Shame,and i was so looking forward to it

So can I conclude then that there is a number of people in our subsim community who will not buy SH5 due to the requirement to be always on the net when playing in single player mode ?

And if so, what exactly is our subsim community doing about it ? An official statement from Neal at this point would be welcome - either one way or the other.

A large amount, including myself, will not purchase due to permanent online requirement!

Not much he could say other that "Tough!", UBI won't listen, they don't care even a teeny bit! We just have to hope that eventually a patch will be released! If not "Tough!"

Definitely one here.
I'm pretty sure the game will sell very poorly in Australia as a whole too.

for some strange reason UBI seams to understand they are going to lose a significant segment of the customers who are attracted to this series yet they are fine with that happening so its not like they dont know what to expect

Not sure if it's been said. But this is a really bad poll. They all mean and point to the same thing. Drm, who would vote for dial up only if the only reason they need the net to begin with is drm. lol....
