SH5 was dead in the water for a number of reasons not just the DRM ...

Regardless of the reasons, a rule of thumb for software sales is no amount of patching and fixing will ever compensate for a dodgy release, whether the problem is bugs or a poorly thought out DRM.

RoF is a good example. By the time they changed the DRM to something more acceptable and add a few more planes to the far too limited initial set. the excitement about the game had passed.
