re the system requirements ive just read on the new sh5 website, the 'required' internet connection is only required for online playing, you can still play solo offline; right?? or will this require you to be online at all times regardless?

ouch.
ok, im seriously unimpressed. whilst i concede the interest in anti-piracy strategies i think ubi has just shot itself in the foot, and stabbed me in the heart.

ive been extremely positive about the whole sh5 thing. however i spend half my time in the 'developing world' where im lucky to send an email. i think this just may've killed off this game for me?

what worries me is the subsim market is a niche market. this heavy handed strategy will have the same effect on others, adversely effecting sales in an already relatively smaller interest group. this will likely push subsims into the unprofitable niche market bin. it was nice whilst it lasted.

i will probably just resurrect sh3 and pray the mods keep playing with that. thanks for your time guys. happy hunting.
