The obsession with DRM you mean? They'll probably never get over it, unfortunately.

DRM or not, patch or no patch, rely on mods or not...

I just wonder for how long people who hate so much this game will feel the need to express their obsession.

Well, they obviously don't hate it as much as they claim, if they are viewing/posting in the SH5 board.

You have to wonder at the logic of these people at times.

The ones who truly hate it are probably long gone. But there are a quite a few persistent onlookers here, me included, that still hope that all this makes a turn to the better. One can only hope that Ubi Romania was not already completely put on a different project but will finally deliver some better patches and content additions than thus far. That, and if the DRM goes one day, I bet Ubi will report a surge in SHV sales. My money they still might get, but only if they start returning value for dollar.

However, presently it looks worse and worse with every week that passes to me as an outsider. Happy news on SHV? Where? When?

Well, you've said it, it looks. There are folks here who really enjoy to make things worse than they really are. (and still some of them never played it at all...)

I'm still evolving a little on this. Just waiting out the hard evolution this portion of the series seems to be going through... kinda reminds me of the scenes in "The Search For Spock"; after Spock is reborn he is in constant agonizing pain because of his accelerated growth.

And your 'Expert' opinion is based on what?

Don't own the Game.
Don't play it.

Which puts you in the catagory of,
Hmmmmmmmm..........

If you don't own it or play it?
Your opinion means didaly squat.

Some of us do own it and do play it.
So we are granted rights to whine and complain!
It's in the EULA!
Oh!
You don't have that so are not aware of the Whiners/Moaners Clause.
My mistake.

As someone already said: ''Complain to those who make the decisions, cuz the readers here don't''
I already sent the strongest message possible, by not giving them my 60$. I doubt the Ubi suits read the Ubi forums or take anything being said there seriously.

And that makes me wonder, when somebody (who supposedly owns the game) posts only about 'the haters' and never about the actual game, just who is the obsessed one?

Console or not, there is so much options out there to spend money on that I do not really depend on a game, at least not a single one. There is the new ARMAII addon coming from a company that listens to customer wishes and has excellent support, as well as two new matrix games that I am eying with for a while (WITP-AE or the upcoming War in the East). Then I might like to read this new book about Jacksons Valley Campaign, so maybe that? Or else another 100 ideas I could come up with. And since SHIII with supermods is still working and looking excellent to me, while the wolfpacks in SHV are still not wolfpacks and so many things are missing, I think there is no reason presently to buy SHV and I can sit back and wait till it reaches a satisfying state... or Ubi announces it will stop patching it and I can forget it. However, I have not yet given up hope.

They place their bets on the easiest path to follow with least amount of cost.... and yours?

I hope they don't. That kind of nonsense is something to be fought, not just passively sucked up.
