Update me on DRM

NeonSamurai · 03-03-10, 09:46 PM

Their new system failed, so this is probably going end up being a public relations disaster. As Neal said elsewhere, its a win for the pirates, a loss for the end users (i would say a loss for ubi as well, but he gave ubi a 0). I expect Ubi will back away from it pretty quick (maybe after trying to make it work a few times).

Anyhow I don't want this thread (or any others in general) turning into a discussion about it, as I don't want the can pictured above opened any more then it is.

I love how they blame the pirates.. With all the money and energy in trying to fight the pirates there forgetting how to make great games. They should use those resources to make better games and focus on those loyal fans who will spend hard earned cash.

But logic has escaped them and greed has moved in to a new level. No company will take control of my rig unless I say ok.. I don't send my personal data to these idiots. I don't use there malwares to run and steal my data too..

SHV isn't a game but an experiment from UBI to see how you will react. How much your willing to give up of yourself...

Didn't take long!

all copy protection is useless for exactly that reason, pirates get a better experience than paying customers and everything will be cracked easily.

Fellow Subsimmers - take Neon's kind words (he is an admin after all - giving everyone a bit of wisdom) - and don't talk about things on this site that are against the rules.

Its likely ok to discuss DRM in general and its impact on PLAYERS who legally have the game. Some people are having no problems with OSP - others are having some issues. That is fine to discuss. Your also probably fine to discuss concerns about the DRM, such as privacy, marketing data, etc.

But do NOT - I repeat - DO NOT - discuss things that are off limits in this forum. Every member agrees to certain constraints upon joining - and are expected to follow the rules here.

A few threads have already been closed because people said things they shouldn't. Folks also have gotten themselves into hot water by stating things that violate subsim rules. Neal and the crew work hard to make sure this community stays the best it can be - help out by keeping discussions away from areas that they shouldn't go.

What we are talking about is ok! We haven't mentioned cracks or where to get them etc, we are only talking news!
