Why is the patch taking so long?

dongle is fine, its portable. if it gets cracked, issue update to game + dongle firmware in next update/patch.

You can't blame the devs for this. It won't have been their decision to create the DRM. Its like saying that you should lose your job because one of the execs in your company made a controversial decision!

Plus, you have to remember that the DRM to be honest was never about stopping people pirating the game, its about stopping second hand sales. They want all the money from each Ubi game sold, if its sold second hand they get nothing. While I'm completely against it, I can see where they're coming from! DRM won't ever be removed until the Ubi execs consider that SHV has reached the end of its shelf life, don't delude yourself into thinking that it will be removed at any other stage.

Appologies SeamanStaines, my post wasn't entirely aimed at you. I'm just getting really fed up of seeing all these anti-drm posts everywhere. People don't like it, fine, we get it already, move on!
