Default Simple solution - DEMO!

Well, it is really surprising that in all that mess caused by DRM anouncement (surprise,surprise) and dark predictions of selling - Ubi is not considering a small DEMO ?

Why are they so persistent in their explanations, descriptions and reassurances : that everything is just fine and smooth ?

Can't we just get a small free demo - to try by ourselves the joy of DMR start/save/load...???

We just can't beleive that Ubi organisation is so clumsy - that they could swallow all this mud, without possibility to offer a small demo ?

Or there are some deeper reasons to push us into Buy&Try ?

( There is an Asian saying: it's better to see once than to hear hundred times... )

I dont know what 'problems' would be solved by a demo.

In fact it would probably just show how cumbersome online verification can become and would leave a nasty taste in a lot of consumers mouth.

Well if I would have the demo I would know the feeling of not being able to use it coz there where no internet until pretty much this very moment... thank god Fallout 3 doesnt have such a drm

Just FYI this is not the first time our internet is down this year... do happen from time to time but it is free (get it coz my girl is a student).

I'm all in favour of a demo. Even if they just limited it to one u-boat class and half the campaign......hey....wait a minute....

Yeah, I know.....I'll get me coat.

Doesn't matter what featurs could be in demo... just ti give you possibility to test for one wekend start/save/load...

If it works fine for user - so much the better !

If it is c**p - lets make it straight and fair !

Otherwise, all these stories sound sleazy ...from such a giant and famous mouth called Ubisoft

(Just don't tell me that Ubi lacks resources to set up one demo mission... )
