Default thoghts.

Bought the game, have a always on connection. can deal with the fact that it wants a stupid constant connection to its server. dislike that it has constant pop up screens that tell me it is saving games n the like ( just put it in the background) and leave me alone. do I think it frustrates and annoys people that bought the game? absolutely. do I think it stops pirates, few if any. If they really wanna do copy protection and use a constant connection, the send out messages to the radio room that changes your mission orders, if you don't have the connection then ya miss out on the juicy convoys. but seriously limit the drm to online play. for off line stuff turn it off, its dumb.

Intrusive pointless DRM

Please Consider this signed

I don't think it will change policy fast - but it's a start. The DRM problem extends to many new releases now and I definately won't support this.
I'll keep the (DRM free) games I've got running as long as I can.

Consider this signed by me.

I don't think this thread will do any good. I think the only thing that may impact UBI's decision regarding the DRM is a drop in sales or Uncle Sam telling them to change it (anyone remember starforce?).

I'm in favor of financially supporting game developers. That way we have more games. That is why I pay for my games. Not so I can have the game I just bought (I could get that for free someplace on the net) but so that in the future more games will be made.

But this DRM is crap. Its frustrating and invasive to say the least. Get rid of it. It didn't work and the pirates proved they could crack it. They have proven time and time again that no matter what DRM you invest in they will break it and find a way around it. Lets all move on, stop wasting your money investing in new copy protection schemes that don't work and stop penalizing your honest customers with tyrannical DRM because someone else pirates your game.

I will not buy the game with the current DRM in place... I will just continue to play SH3 & SH4. (I bought those legit without UBI needing online DRM in place)

I said i wouldn't buy it as long as they keep the online connection requirement and i still have not bought it. I have bought 3 or 4 games since SH5 was released and i could have gotten SH5 any of those times but until the DRM is dropped i'll stick with SH4.
