Not American,so not a redneck!
Also Oleg didn't require me to log in to his company server everytime I start il2.

This is just getting out of hand.
Let them release the title b4 you cry about it so much..
It's the 21st century and the Internet have evolved more than ever especially within gaming, me personally i don't find anything fun in playing offline in the long run for games like this unless there's a story/cinematic involved, sure fun to download custom maps/mods and missions but eventually the challenge comes with the MP aspect with clans, tournaments , ladders or just playing vs other humans on a public server.

And if that's what their trying to create (more players online even get the average gamer to go online) then , we'll just have to accept it.

It may be where your challenge comes from...but it certainly isn't where everyones comes from

Or reject it...Or indeed reject it quite vocally as we feel they are trying to modify gamers behaviour and impose their idea of what a flight simulation should be all about on us...

I don't want to go online...

I hope Oleg is reading these threads...

I think u fail to see the main reason why A LOT of people dont like this new development, they took something that is an option (offline) most people use atleast once and most of the time more than that and turned into some kind of a problem.

Simply put: why should u or the dev team or anyonelse for that matter care when and if i play singel player mode?

Seriously, give me 1 valid reason and ill give u a milion bucks.


"Copyprotection" doesnt fly, if you are that scared of pirates dont sail on the 7 seas.




P.S. Its we the consumer who decides how the market look, not the other way arround. (If people dont like the game, product or whatever, it fails, end of story) and does 3 out of 10 in favor sound like "we" need to get with the program?

The gloves are off
 

It does seem as though this will be a sure fire way to prevent piracey. I mean it appears to be bullet proof. Let's face it, every game has gotten hacked, some in record time. These developers/publishers are starting to play hardball:-P

Everything gets hacked, as you said.

The interesting part is that many potential customers will now be waiting for a hack, so they can purchase and play offline.

Like someonelse said: its also a nice way of torpedoing your own ship before even leaving dry dock. :)


I do wonder who thought releasing this kind of important tidbit now and not 12/6 months ago was a good idea. LoL

The gloves are off and they don't care. Look for this in SOW as well I'm sorry to say...hope not

Maybe, I'm not sure that we will even have a copy on our hard drive's after we purchase. At least its not clear to me right now:confused:
