onelifecrisis, on this one you got me. I got a bit worked up about this pointless DRM disaster. It correctly should have read: "If someone has to leave, then I think that you guys would be much happier at... than people not concurring with UBI's DRM plans."

Unfortunately that kind of lost the core point that I made: No one does have to leave -- everyone is entitled to his opinion. It is just a shame to see UBI risk the success of their programmers and the good old SH series. Oh well, SH3+GWX only misses wolve packs.

Not quite correct. Any game that has the potential for online play needs to carry that warning here to advise that the game solo may not be the same when played online. IIRC even the Sims carried this warning.

All games that have an online mode have to carry that warning here as well.

It is because the companies cannot control what people do or say online. Someone may buy a nice G rated game for their kids, then walk in to see them playing it online and people telling each other off in chat using foul language. That is not the production company, or dev team's fault. But they do have to cover themselves by saying they can't guarantee the rating online.

SHIV had that warning. It has nothing at all to do with the DRM.
