As i said above, saying something doesnt fix anything, and saying nothing is worse, we're a month or so into silent hunter and the drm-complaining people (Who seem to not know that these complaints wont make a difference, which is why i rightly refer to some of the more loud ones as "Idiots") havent slowed down in their bile-spreading at all.

I just want to speak up and make sure that everyone knows that there is a dissenting voice in the forum, and i wouldnt use such harsh language if this wasnt the 5th thread i've had to do this in.

You don't own the software, but the software owns you!

Actually, it is "our" game. We do own the software.
Granted, we cant make changes and re-sell it under another name or blah blah profit. But we bought it, its ours. Just like its "your" volvo or "your" loaf of bread or "your" LOTR dvd collection.

You can blame us whiners for trashing the forum but it's Ubi's decision that has turned this place into a circus. I'm glad people aren't giving in and are making their opinions heard. Even when told to take it elsewhere.

Sincerely,
Longer Standing Guest

Nope.. sorry, not buying it.

Ubisoft are not the ones making post after post after post after post making the same tired points.

Ubisoft are not the ones calling people names like "fanboy".

People have to take some personal responsibility for their own actions. If you try to blame Ubisoft for your actions, what does that make you? I have not read anywhere that any employee of Ubisoft has put a gun to someone's head and forced them to post an sophmoric rant.

The whinners (as you referred to yourself) make the choice to be whinners.

I think you mean 'Whiners' because 'Whinners' would be some strange new word that could perhaps mean a whiner who was also a winner?

This forum needs less douchebaggery and more Billy Ocean.

Listen, its okay to voice your dissent.

But do not claim everything is okay. I am tired of people's selfish attitude that just because they don't have any problems with the DRM, it must be okay. Fact is, for the second time in 2 weeks, there has been a prolonged outage of Ubi's authentication servers (confirmed by UK service rep).. and now we learn that the first outage may have in fact been due to Ubi's own server problems, not a DOS attack which they were so quick to blame. Just because things are fine in your little universe doesn't mean that everyone else should just suck it up and take whatever is rammed up their rear end.

And BTW, who cares if Ubi listens or not. People are complaining to make their feelings known and so that maybe others will not make the same mistake (referring to people who bought the game and can't play it).. Go check out the Ubi forums. Again, if you didn't have any problems, great here's a cookie

But that doesn't justify this system.

PS - Fanboy is not a "name". Its an accurate descriptor for certain types of behavior, much like you use the word "whiner" to refer to people that choose to speak out.

Okay, I'm going to step in with my patented "Anti-Argument" argument, because I love good debate, and very little of this qualifies.

This is not a debate, or an argument. This is a direct challenge, if not exactly an insult. As pointed out elsewhere, the purpose was not to discuss, but to say "Ha, ha, I told you so". It qualifies as trolling.

I'm not buying the game until the DRM is gone, which may be never. But I do feel for the people who can't play it. It doesn't make me feel superior, it just ticks me off.

Not an answer, but another challenge.

Quote:

Why? Its ruining this forum, which used to be about submarine video games. Now its about DRM. Lawsuits, bugs, glitches, bad reviews and modifications.

Yes, I think the DRM is ruining this forum, and should go. Not what you meant, but it works both ways.

Quote:

Option A: Say something
Result: You are a troll

And that's where you get the biggest argument from me. You never just say something - you go on the attack immediately. To my mind your first post would have worked better if you had responded "This fanboy is playing his game. I've had no problems, not that you will believe me. I only took time out to answer your silly attack."

It's not what you say, it's how you say it. Yes, I think you troll sometimes. As does Drtechno. As does Brag, as much as I like him. As do a lot of folks.

These forums are not being ruined; not by a long shot. But they are being dragged down, by everybody who starts threads just to boast, or attack, or even argue. If you don't like a thread, ignore it. It will go away faster if you do.

Now I'm going back to whining because I can't play anything at all.

True. I would guestimate it's coming from legit owners who bought a partially defunct product with an even more defunct and malevolent DRM implementation. Customers who get unnerved by not being able to use the product at a time of their choosing. As long as UBI is unable (unwilling?) to get their act together, how can you expect people not to go ballistic on the issue?

If $50 bucks hurts when you spend it?
Why are you buying games to start with?

And why start threads such as this?
Your just sending more relevent threads down.
