Also, UBISoft has announced exactly that kind of DRM for all its games in the future:
http://uk.pc.gamespy.com/pc/the-sett...1063391p1.html "One very interesting benefit of this new account management system is how it handles save games. Your saves will be stored remotely on Ubi servers, allowing access to your game saves on any machine." |

But the official answer on the german forum of Ubisoft from the Ubisoft representative is connection is required not only to play the game (launch it) but is also required for the "whole duration" of play. |

I would say that it is very clear now, that SHV will have the new DRM(http://forums-de.ubi.com/eve/forums/...161085487/p/14).
Has he got false informations? I wouldn't hope. And I have got the feeling that the game structure of SHV is designed for the new DRM. Well, goodbye SHV. I know so many guys who haven't got DSL... |

OT there is a workaround for nearly anything, but FORCING people to have internet access in order to play a game that is meant primarily for offline use, is stupid,#1, wont do anything in the way of stopping piracy#2, and makes me mad#3.

I'm seeing why they kept a tight lid on this game. Every time they open their mouths, they lose more customers.
I've found the direction they're going with SH5 to be quite interesting, but I wasn't that interested in playing it. With this model of DRM, I simply can't see buying it any time soon. |

At least with STEAM you only have to be on-line to authenticate the game the first time you play. After that you could play in off-line mode. I wonder what this will be like?

I like to go to holidays in Portugal where we have a house there.
It's a calm place, on a top of a kind of moutain. There, I don't have water coming in : we have a whell with a pump that brings water to the house. No gas, we use wood we have to go grab, cut and burn. And there's no telephone line there. It was so expensive to bring telephone there that the national telephone company brought ONE line to ONE house and the contract is everyone there can use the line and pays for its own use. So if I need to call or be called, I have to go to the neighboor's house which has the phone line, and call/be called and pay for the use I do. Forget about cellphones working there. This is a quiet isolated place I like to go, and with a nice wood fire turn on a confortable laptop to watch movies, play or reads books and relax. And yes, I did play SH3 there. So I am supposed to be connected to Internet all the time now ? More and more often I no longer carry a cellphone because I'm fed of people thinking I am supposed to be available for them when I lunch, when I going to/from work and when I'm not working. I'm not keeping the cellphone at home and less and less using it to have some moron marketing suit tell me how I should live my life. Offline play = no online Internet connection required Man comes down from the monkey, and it seems some have missed the ladder at Ubisoft. |

However, due to players complaints, RoF will probably drop this system in one of the next patches. |

Even tho I like the game very much, I refused to buy Rise of Flight for this reason.
Looks like I won't be buying SH5 either if this is the case. That's a shame. I like to OWN the things I buy, not just own the right to connect to a server to have assess to something I already paid for.

Well the poop is starting to hit the fan over at the UBI forums as well. I wonder if any phones are starting to ring in the upper echelons of UBI yet?
