Not too bad, but Oleg is still holding his cards close to his chest!

Cheers, and here's for a (planned) 2010 release date!

So, we will have a Rise of Flight type of DRM?
It´s not working well with Silent Hunter 5 right now.
I wish we doesn´t have piracy, but the real problem is with people that BUY pirate software.
I will buy SOW anyway, because I feel that I need to support developers in not beeing stolen.
Too much hard work and money invested,they need some sort of protection,even if it´s not perfect.

quick read of the article, nothing majorly new there in info, but good to see the intended release date confirmed

i dont mind an online check of some sort for online play, BUT it has to be possible to play coops etc on lan or local networks without obligation to be online (which from previous statements i think oleg has taken account of already) . and i'd like some safeguard that if the server-check thingy is broken/down on the 1C side, that it doesnt disrupt or block online play.

for ex on a private coop server all the way in australia (ie not a sanctioned no-cheat 1C certified server), does that server really need to depend on a permanent connection to a russian server for play ? that wouldnt make sense to me. i also should be able to play my own campaign on a pc at home without requiring a net connection, but again from previous statements it sounds like oleg allows for that.

oleg does need to have some anti piracy protection, i trust him to find a reasonable compromise that prevent the main piracy problem but doesnt end up being a major inconvenience for legitimate users and for them doesnt limit normal game use day to day (like the bad system RoF uses)

I to have nothing against some sought of online check....its a small price to pay for good quality games on the pc.

[Avimimus]

I need to be able to fly in rural/remote areas. Outside of urban centres and the high-arctic it is often impossible to find high-speed connections.

However, I will still donate the price - even if I can't run the game.

[Qpassa]

I just hope that Oleg just doesnt use a DRM, because in summer ill play it offline(if its avaliable), maybe theres a way to keep the pirates away from the SOW:BOB.

[Novotny]

Steam launch? Not completely effective DRM, but pretty good. Doesn't bother customers in general.

*runs away*
