Massive Price Drop!

[TDK1044]

I think what it says is that the 'casual gamers' it was targeted at are not buying it, and neither are a lot of subsimmers who are angry over the DRM.

Now all we need is for Ubisoft to make an executive decision not to waste any server time with this game, and we'll then get a patch to play it offline.

At that point, we can really start to mod and play it.

As for future games in the Franchise...who knows? Looks unlikely though.

I suspect the DRM won't be lasting much longer. These quick, steep price reductions (seemingly UK only for the time being) seem to indicate that retailers will not be re-upping their stock of SHV. That, in turn, suggests there is no incentive for Ubi to maintain the DRM which uses Ubi's resources.

I would love to see some sales data information for the day after they remove DRM. I, for one, will probably be buying it then.

Has SH5 1.2 been released yet? i thought it was still being worked on.

[Safe-Keeper]

It's being worked on, but I heard that the idiots at Ubi are going to force you to be connected to the Internet while downloading it. I'm not getting it 'til they fix that.

Okay, bad joke.
