Calling people idiots just because they happen to have been right, and you disagree with their views, makes you look really mature.

Play nice nice guys. DRM is frustrating enough!

If maturity means trolling forums and gloating because legitimate customers can't play their game, then I'll take immaturity any day.

If you have nothing to add besides smug attitude and rubbing people's noses in an already frustrating situation, then go away.

DOS/DDOS attacks are not an excuse. Sorry Ubi. They are a reality of the internet. Having a business model that requires that there be no attacks on their servers is sort of like having a business model that doesn't plan for piracy. They are out of one fire into another.

Morons.

BTW, I bet if their forum servers are down, it's just to shut people up.

and does it matter? who ever is at it, is doing/did a good job...

if he/she carry on doing it and makes UBI retracks from online nosence towards to offline/times-to-times checking he/she would certainly become a hero... probably not only from pirates but from ex-UBI customers that won't be buying such online products.

LOL @ seeadler!

And as for Ubi's excuse, it smacks too much of "the dog ate my homework."

uh news flash buddy......get your corporate lazy @ss off the couch or interrupt your golf game and get the problem fixed! I'm on call 24hrs a day/7 days a week. If I tell my customer's that I'll look into a problem the next day they'd go ballistic on me.....customer is #1 priority

If members would put where there from under their Avatar we might have an idea of area problems.

But of course we have members who still look under their beds before going to sleep.

this really is a shame...all the people who where flaming against the drm and proclaiming ubis incompetence have been right. this might be some kind of ending for ubi...first steps on the road to hell.

a company without customers...is not a company any more.

I was here to warn people (like many others did) of the potential problems with OSP before the game was released. These warnings have been ignored. But you can't say I didn't try to help the community by informing guys like you what could happen (and now actually does happen).

Now, a few days later, everyone who bought SH5 already sent a clear signal to UBI "Hey, it's okay if YOU keep control after I paid for the game. I don't mind if you dictate to us when we can play." Don't complain now.

I'm indeed very happy today: Happy because it seems that finally people will wake up and stop giving companies money in exchange for systems that let those companies control those customers, ban the resale of games, monitor their gaminghabits for marketing-relevant data and sell over-priced DLC to make up for too little initial content.

And furthermore, like I wrote earlier: If this system takes a foothold in the market, you can expect "pay to play" singleplayer games in about two or three years.

You guys who bought this game were willing to sell your basic customer rights (like the right to resell an item) away, either because you truly thought big coporate interests have the best for the customer in mind, or because you didn't know better. I don't envy your position today, but if your problems mean that we as a gamer community can avoid that such a "draconian restrictions management" can get a foothold, and that we continue to have the right to re-sell our games and don't be monitored in the end, then the price you guys are paying is small in comparison.

And besides, if it really pisses you off so badly - return the game and send a message to UBI.

A company without customers? Hard to say really, they might loose their old ones but with flashy graphics and pre-ordering they can always find new ones.

Just look at Evony, they treat their customers like **** but solves that by opening new servers all the time, to attract new blood.
