Aw stink aye!
A note to people suggesting that the devs wont be sued...thats not the issue. The issue is that UBI fears to be sued. They fear that if they are sued, the company will die.
Thing is, with such a plociy implimented, the lack of sales for the product will likewise cause the company to die.
Remember what happened with GTA 4 SA with the "hot coffee". Even having the ability to mod the game and allow access to that disabled content was enough to have the game either reclassified, or even pulled from shelves.
There is a lot to consider with this, and a simple warning is not enough to stop vultures (sorry...litigation lawyers) from trying to make a name and killing for themselves.
I agree, it sucks, it is stupid, it is grossly over compensatory for the "protection" of a small minority (those who suffer from epilepsy).
