AFAIK Amazon downloads are safe. Welcome aboard

When you buy from Amazon, you basically download a self-installing copy of the game. You don't get to keep a copy of the install package. That stays with Amazon, although you can re-download as needed. But it is a straight commercial copy of the game, with Ubi's standard DRM, not the Steam version. And, if you use the Amazon link on this page, SubSim gets a (small) kickback. It's all good!

I have heard so many times how buggy SHV is so I never bought it...just stayed with SH4 but saw it on amazon download for $5.95. I have not had any problems except for the depth under keel bug which has an easy workaround. I am very happy with this game. I also just installed my first MOD IRAI by the dark wraith, makes the enemy much smarter.
