However, if you want to make one that says "Internet connection STILL required to log on", I'll gladly accept your offer.

On the other other hand, though the meaning is very obvious, it doesn't name a specific game...

What if we all pitched in a bought you a copy?

Pitched in? To heck with that.

I have to confess to something... I actually own two copies, one 'hard' copy, one Ubi.com digital copy that I never actually used. I've been hanging on to it just in case, but... Steve, if you want to hop on, I would be happy to let you have that digital download copy

I've also said elsewhere that if someone gave me a copy I would give it right back. I don't apply my principles to anyone else, but they are mine, and they're all I have left, so I'll stand buy them until the day I die.

He doesnt want a copy until the online connection is dropped all together . If no one complained then they would never drop it which would suck . It should be optional . I like my cloud saves but would like to be able to have a choice .

because you feel the need to keep repeating your "principled" opposition over and over and over...well you get the point..

..sometimes I feel the need to repeat myself also. I also want to make sure you are not repeating yourself over and over again because of old age, "old people" do that, you know...

That's because you see the DRM as an acceptable inconvenience, and are happy when it's reduced a little.

I, on the other hand, see it as an unwarranted intrusion, and mock them for throwing us a bone by removing it "just a little".

I have it but I do understand and respect your position/viewpont and the fact you above so many others have remained consistent in it

Hang in there Steve. UBI doesn't want my money either.

They don't seem to want my money either.

How much $$$ is Ubisoft actually losing out on at this point, if you refuse to buy SH5 for <$5 on Amazon?

I wish they should have just used Steam for DRM since it Ubi's is pretty lame.

It isn't about the money, and never has been.
