Do we really want to ruin this forum with constant DRM and SH5 trashing?

Yes, it's a game that uses the word "service" to mean "bend over." Yes it's a game that we will have to post over and over that it is a game that doesn't deserve to be bought or modded, produced by a company that doesn't deserve to live.

If we don't continue to post to that effect, our voices will be buried by all the excuse makers who believe that we who are offended by Ubi's contempt for its most loyal Customers have no standing simply because we haven't drunk the kool-aid and bought this insult of a game.

I have never killed anyone but I'm against murder. I don't own the game and I'll be happy to tell people why. My opinion is valid and I won't be shouted down, ESPECIALLY by those who speciously insist that ownership is necessary in order to have an informed opinion.

When a game is used to rewrite copyright law and deny fair use rights to the purchasers, we're talking about lots more than a game. It must end here or it will spread.

We must kill it before it multiplies. Nobody should EVER come to Subsim and be able to conclude that SH5 is a game worth purchase consideration until UBI removes the DRM and resale prohibition. Until then whether the game is fun or not is not a valid consideration, any more than whether poison-laced kool-aid tastes good. Who cares if it tastes good? You can't drink it.
