Are you buying SHV

So what does Ubi do? It jumps completely over to the dark side, confirming what we already knew. Ubi does not respect its customers. In fact, they don't have any customers, only criminals who deserve to be punished.

No thanks, Ubi. I live in a world of limitless possibilities, not in a concentration camp. Lacking the ability to enforce your concentration camp, you are destined to be its only occupant, except for those defrauded by the assumption that they are buying some kind of a fun game. God help them. But you, Ubi, are beyond even His help if you don't buy a couple of vowels. Looks like Sony and Apple have a new partner in the Evil Empire. Rest in pieces, all of you. Not one penny for the Evil Empire.

Incase some just people don't get it, and where RR is coming from, read these:

I will never buy ANY game that does this schitt. Ubisoft can go to hell.

Ok, maybe it doesn't work properly, but I don't get what is the comparison with concentration camp and Evil Empire.

Nope, unfortunatley that is not the case - you own a license to use it as prescribed by the publisher and nothing more. What do think the license agreement is all about?
Hell the only way you can 'own' your software is to write it yourself.

But most likely, its working as designed. Ubisoft can go to hell. I won't buy from them again so long as they're using this draconian BS. There ARE other games publishers.

S!

After reading this forum for the last couple of days I have changed my mind about SH5. I have requested a refund for my preorder from the UBI store.

Looking at all of the great screen shots etc makes this all that much harder to do.

The more I think about the DRM , the more I am increasingly uncomfortable with this method (used by more and more games it would seem) of protection.

And along with no SH5, I will also be removing ROF from my PC.

I will continue to play both SH3 and 4

I am just no longer willing to accept the intrusion, (and possible data collection), that goes with these type of tethered games.

It´s never too late to renounce the dark side, Meo. Or is it?
