Why should a developer restrict its design to account for the 1-2% that don't have a reliable connection? You have a choice, you can choose not to buy the product - if your setup can't handle it then likely this is not the product for you. But I'd be willing to bet that only 1-2% of the prospective customers would have a connection that would regularly have a problem. Look, if you've got a problem with it, fine, don't buy the game(s). However realize that the days of gaming without an internet connection is numbered and that a boycott on principle is meaningless (you'll never get anywhere close to a serious dent in sales). |

I have a solid net connection, I have never had trouble with online DRMs.. I have been using them for years.
The biggest games in the world require online play.. no amount of forum whining will change the view a production company sees. MMOs have MILLIONS of subscriptions and every one playing on a real copy. No corporate bean counter will ever see past that! The biggest thing I hear about online DRMs is.. "but if my net goes down I can't play the game I own!!". Yeah.... well to set this straight, you don't own software. In the legal sense you are a "Licensed User" not an "Owner".. HUGE difference. When you click Yes and Next without reading during an install, you are passing the EULA which is a legal contract. When you say "Yes" to that page you are signing a contract. If you chose to sign contracts without reading them, then you have no right to bitch. |

they were produced by UBI but it is the mod community that finished sh3 and sh4 games for UBI and it is the mod community who made them good games worthy of the popularity and following they enjoy. |

And yes, I do have a constant internet connection, but I do object to a connection over that I have no control and do not know what is send. Furthermore, server side stored save games is total BS. I wont agree to that either until I see what exactly is stored. |

I am a SIMmer at heart. looks like i might hve to give up on simming and get a new Hobby.
I have startet getting into the PC business because i want to keep playing, but the pay is miserable, and a proper internet connection costs me 10-12 percent of my pay . I do not see that haoppening. SHIII and a second or third GF is the Future, Sex is more fun than SHV, and condoms are cheaper anyway. Depending n how much i need. Bye gaming... Welcome, Ladies!

Someone please save me the hassle of reading the whole forum and tell me if this has been officially confirmed for SH5 or not?

I hate the online part of BF2142. I'll fire up a map for testing and run about offline, on my own computer, all by myself, and all of a sudden I'm booted to the main menu with the explanation that "connection to the EA master server has been lost".
But I'll reserve judgment until I get to actually try it out, and if it can reduce piracy, so much the better .
