No Connection/Dialup only/Hate DRM - Page 5

I think this would be statistically a very interesting view of why people wont be buying SHV as well as other games that require a permanent online connection.

There are those who:
Do not have a connection at all.
Unstable/bad connection.
Only have dialup, that is just too slow, especially for game saves!
Just don't like being online for single player games.
Because of these reasons I feel that after the initial release and sales flatten out a patch will be released and a second wave of sales will flood the market, this would be good for all, gamers and Ubisoft!

Note: This is not a hate DRM/OSP thread, I'm trying to find out how many people can't buy DRM/OSP type games due to hardware problems, if I didn't put the last entry in people would just vote on the first 3 making the whole point of this redundant.
