I haven't started any anti-DRM threads, and I couldn't possibly make promises for other people.

Robbo you already told UBI what you think about the DRM. Your money said, "UBI's DRM system is the greatest thing since 2 ply toilet paper. Make more and more games with even more insulting and invasive DRM. I don't expect to have the same rights as an owner of your copyrighted materials that I have with a book, DVD, music CD or any other similar matter, and I'm happy with that. I don't care that service people in Afganistan can't use a game supposedly dedicated to the people who serve their country. Only my own immediate gratification matters and actually anyone who cares about anything else, I will just ignore them and post in Subsim about how unreasonable they are." (That's funny, my money only says "Goodbye.")

Anything you say against DRM in the Ubi forum will be ignored, as you have already voted. You can't vote twice, and a non-monetary vote counts for nothing. Money is the only vote that counts. Sending them money votes for the DRM. Withholding the money votes against. End of story.

I pointedly jingle my money in their general direction and wait for them to fix their disgraceful problem.

nobody can force you to buy a game, i would never even try. also, nobody is trying to condone a crap product.

there will always be flying games, car driving games, mindless gun blasters etc etc, but if the only subsim doesnt sell then there probably will not be another one. not trying to use emotional blackmail, just a very sad fact. for me, my current job/lifestyle currently makes me unable to play it yet, but i'll still buy it.

i will ultimately just be grateful to have the opportunity to play an upgraded version of SH3 which is what SH5 is. if it was not modable then it would be still-born, but it is modable, so there is life and potential in it yet.

i want to have a uboat sim, its a niche market, i do not expect a 'tailored solution in an off the rack world'.

Holding off on buying SH 5. Have entered "observation mode". Neals review gave enough water on my mill in regards to other flaws then the DRM.....

The only thing I love is the graphics.
The bugs kill this game for me and I find the walk around sub just ok.
Why they just didn't release SH3 with GWX and include a more interactive sub interior, the dynamic campaign and SH5 graphics, I will never know.
I suppose the devs were under pressure to innovate and the deadline got the better of them.
But I am currently playing SH4,uboat xpac and OM mod.
That makes me a happy man and SH5 has been shelved in the hope that in 1-2 years time it will be ALOT better.
If it isn't, then it will be nothing more than a learned mistake.
No more ubisoft games for me for my PC or PS3.
But then ubisoft has my money for this and that's all that matters really isn't it.

Dp sorry.

To answer the OP question, and because I have a mad tendency to jump at the chance to slate UBIs DRM/OSP/BOLOX.... i'm holding out very well. No doubt the game is pretty, but i've been around long enough to know that a pretty girl is not necessarily a nice girl.

And a pretty girl with DRM is like trying to hump a dead mermaid.

I suggest you SHFivers check out the latest developments in SH3....beautiful she is.
