They can have my money as soon as they create a product I want to buy. Until then, no.

They're talking about having virtual museums where the blind or anyone can feel all those things secured behind glass. Now are you going to quit watching TV?

I don't care about 3D. I got a slight disalignment of my two eyes that makes me unable to see 3D pictures when using those glasses. There is no fix for that except boring, eye tiring exercices I have to do daily. No surgery, no fix is available... So, all that 3D movies stuff is something I cannot have if it's through glasses. And a lot of people have that "eye divergence" problem, especially those with myopia.

Dropping the DRM is a necessary, but not a sufficient condition to secure my purchase of SH5.

I've been away from these boards for a while, but from what I am picking up-- the game still suffers from serious quality and design deficiencies. With those factors in the mix, SH5 would likely have to be in the closeout bin before it gets my money.

My initial reason for not buying was solely the DRM. As modders that I respect have given up on SH5 I have come to realize that the DRM is probably the best thing that could have happened to Ubi, as it allows them to pretend that only a stupid decision on the DRM is responsible for their failure. In fact, the failure only begins there.

In spite of that, after the DRM is gone and the game is available on the used market I'll probably snipe one off eBay for a dollar or so.

"Very simple...only for the people who have not purchased SH5 yet!"

Remarkable how the very people who bleat about those who haven't bought SH5 posting on the SH5 forum feel it necessary to post on a thread that contains the above simple instruction.

Is'nt that the very definition of trolling?

Seems that folks who haven't bought SH5, for whatever reason, are a lot more tolerant of those that have, than the other way round.

Which sais it all really.

Regards,

Dredd

I think that refers to the poll. It wouldn't make sense to vote on it if you already had a copy.

Maybe you'd be a poll troll if you voted.

I would buy it without question =if= the DRM was removed.

You have perfectly illustrated my point.

And it could be said that you baited him into posting - the very dictionary definition of trolling.

Flankhard · 09-06-10, 12:57 PM

Voted no.
But that dosen't mean I won't buy it at all, or that I wouldn't be happy if they removed it. It's not the DRM that keeps me on the fence here. In fact, if this game was perfect - the DRM would almost be a non-issue.

I think McBeck already had the game when he posted this up, so would that mean the OP was trolling himself in his own thread? McBeck what did you mean with the first post - poll or post? That's the simplest way to find out.

StarForce offended me much more then DRM.
StarForce is well known to have destroyed hardware.
DRM is just an inconvenience and the fashionable excuse.

If you're for SH5, as your previous posts seem to indicate, then I don't see why you would want this poll to end. It gives us a small idea percentage-wise of how many people would love to support SH5 in the future, given one minor change. The poll is not against the game itself, and there are still people voting. I myself only just discovered it.
