If you read down you would have noticed that i reported that over 2 hours ago ... what are they playing at . Taking the piss

Silent Witness is on at 21:00 GMT

Where I work 24 Hrs notice + signed customer (very antiquated word that) permission is required before making an application unavailable. UBI - Bad practice

Why does Ubisoft still have this signon DRM. The game is selling for about 15 bucks. What pirate is going to try to copy and distribute it.

ingsoc84 · 02-01-11, 03:28 PM

I dont think UBIsoft is just going to go fold the tent on this game..they do have a lot at stake with their reputation with other games..however..I agree that this is pretty dismal customer service to sell a game..and then let you play it "when they get around to it"....

Well obviously i didnt see it otherwise i wouldnt post it again now would i? I think its just onther Ubi failure (like so many)

Will be glad when its up and running.want to try the TDW mega mod..and I must say SH5 in its MODDED form has really become my favorite SIM to play..hands down..its really fantastic..however..I stress..ONLY has it become so with the help of the modders...I think the designers of many of these games would be best served by hiring some of these talented people!

Budds · 02-01-11, 06:13 PM

First off....
I LIKE sh5 !
( But DO NOT SUPPORT the DRM!!!)

Now we discuss how great the Software has become.... due to COMMUNITY support, While the "Servers" wont let you play.
And ya gotta know... One Day the Servers will NOT come back On-Line, What Then ?

So Who is the Pirate Here ?
The guy who enabled you to play YOUR PAID FOR software, but busted the EULA......
Or the Company that took your money.... Gave little support.... And KNOWS that the Server will not live forever .... why support a 5yr old product, when they could just sell you a new one ?
Blurry Line I suppose...

Glad I was gifted my Copy !
Sh4 was/is enough for me, and No DRM !
Love to Play Sh5......
But cant get behind the DRM with my $$$$$.

Anywyas............

ingsoc84 · 02-01-11, 06:35 PM

Agree..eventually....Im sure all support and "servers" for this game will be dropped..sad..as I still play some old games..panzer elite...and others which I really like..but which do not require this nonesense...somehow/someway there has to be a way we can enjoy this game down the road/years without relying on UBIsoft an their servers..otherwise the game will just become door stop..not that many games after years dont end up their anyway..but I'd like the choice to play or not play the game be mine..and not determined by some bean counters at a company who decide to pull the plug.

Still down.

Microsoft.com youtube.com, etc., and never stops. Ubisoft: This site is currently undergoing maintenance. Need more servers. Mockery of the players. Do not play online, I have to have the internet. idiocy. I bought the game and I can not play.

ingsoc84 · 02-01-11, 07:31 PM

I can understand obvioulsy if one wants to play mp..but I play only single player..ie...no connection required..the darn game is already code protected..so why this nonesense? ANY game that exists I've seen the Russians pirate (lived in Russia) regardless of these things..so why not just let us pay our 49.99 and play the game without this stuff? I've bought EVERY one of my games (probably spent couple thousand dollars over the years) and Im not interested in anything but legal software...I paid for it..I should be able to play the game..and not wait around till these people get their act together..

I agree. I am against piracy. But the manufacturer must ensure the quality of their products.
