Don't forget that DRM is only a response to software piracy and without one the other wouldn't be needed. Not everyone is a software pirate but everyone has the potential to be one, and DRM removes the temptation.

If you won't buy a game because of DRM then that is your choice and of course you're entitled to follow that course of action. I think you'll be left behind though. I'm just hoping that if DRM is implemented that it isn't done so in an obstructive way.

All i can say is that as a long time modder and player of the SH series the DRM was a complete dicaster.

DRM can proberbly work, but with the extremly bad support Ubi have both on there site and on the phone and mixed up with a semi broken protection system (werry unstable) it will be sad if SOW should end up in the grinder....im not talking about other version of DRM im talking strictly about the one Ubi are using.....

And well if ubi earned more with that, they aint using it to fix a broken game...(sh V is a In house) production.....

Personaly i could live with 10 versions of starforce than one version of Ubi`s fancy dandy DRM...
