It was also one of themes in a short speech.

I'm not following. maintaing a constant internet connection to play a game limits the games audience to those with a constant internet connection, which IMO is ridiculous.

I'd be quite content to buy a game that requires a one-time activation at install, and obviously authentication every time a player goes online to play multiplayer games would be entirely reasonable as well, as long as it was not a requirement to do so when joining a LAN game.

It seems you have to be online even when playing offline (a la RoF) in the DRM policy :confused: which sucks if it's true.

ROF has changed its system with the patch 1.11 a couple of months ago. Now you can play offline without an Internet connection. Only the first login must be done online. I think it is a good compromise.

Same with GTA IV btw.

Guess they have learned a lesson.

that's cool, the original post, and the game is coming along nicely.

I'd prefer them to use the serial with the awesomely done manual, heck maybe even with two serials (manual and on the poster).

But the days of uber printed manuals with more information than you can handle are gone . . .

Maybe online registration two times (IL-2).

That is good. But still, the DRM will put some people off if it's implemented. TBH I don't really care, but clearly some do ;)

Oleg, is Ubisoft still going to distribute SoW? ;)

Maybe you can offer an UBI free special edition, only directly available from 1C, if Ubi is still the publisher for western Europe. In an old style cardboard box with printed map and Spitfire pilot notes, I would pay twice the ordinary price for something like that.
