SH 5 for 7 dollars !!!! Gogamer

[John W. Hamm]

I'm with ya Steve to this day I have still not given in to SH5... I saw in another post, that said they believed that DRM was here to stay... I have bought 11 P.C. games since SH5 came out 6 of which were big name titles and not one of them had DRM... UBI as far as I can tell is the only one using it (in the games I have bought and am playing) I own SH2,3 & 4 there will be no 5 in my future until DRM is gone... had all of us followed this I strongly believe there would already be no DRM...

Nah... they would have just blamed it on a lack of interest and used it as an excuse to stop work on that paltry pair of pathetic patches they did release.

<- convention requires that I add this, but I really don't think it's the least bit funny.

Unfortunately I think you're probably right.

Starcraft was released with a pseudo DRM arrangement (I think). You must create an account on the Battlenet website to register the game after installation is complete. When you launch the game you also log in to the Battlenet site. I'm pretty sure you can still play the game offline but not sure what happens to saved games.

I had to reinstall my operating system (and games) a couple months ago. When I reinstalled and launched Starcraft I was right where I left off in the campaign so this tells me my saved game is on the Battlenet site. I think this is not bad so long as I can still play offline, save my progress, then have the saved game files synchronize themselves the next time I log in.

Too bad Ubisoft can't follow this approach.
