Calling people idiots just because they happen to have been right, and you disagree with their views, makes you look really mature.

Play nice nice guys. DRM is frustrating enough!

If maturity means trolling forums and gloating because legitimate customers can't play their game, then I'll take immaturity any day.

If you have nothing to add besides smug attitude and rubbing people's noses in an already frustrating situation, then go away.

I was here to warn people (like many others did) of the potential problems with OSP before the game was released. These warnings have been ignored. But you can't say I didn't try to help the community by informing guys like you what could happen (and now actually does happen).

Now, a few days later, everyone who bought SH5 already sent a clear signal to UBI "Hey, it's okay if YOU keep control after I paid for the game. I don't mind if you dictate to us when we can play." Don't complain now.

I'm indeed very happy today: Happy because it seems that finally people will wake up and stop giving companies money in exchange for systems that let those companies control those customers, ban the resale of games, monitor their gaminghabits for marketing-relevant data and sell over-priced DLC to make up for too little initial content.

And furthermore, like I wrote earlier: If this system takes a foothold in the market, you can expect "pay to play" singleplayer games in about two or three years.

You guys who bought this game were willing to sell your basic customer rights (like the right to resell an item) away, either because you truly thought big coporate interests have the best for the customer in mind, or because you didn't know better. I don't envy your position today, but if your problems mean that we as a gamer community can avoid that such a "draconian restrictions management" can get a foothold, and that we continue to have the right to re-sell our games and don't be monitored in the end, then the price you guys are paying is small in comparison.

And besides, if it really pisses you off so badly - return the game and send a message to UBI.
