SOW - with new DRM model by UBI ?

The day when you have to subject to a monthly subscription even for playing offline games will be the day when you know why people object to such bullcr@p, mazex. This is only the beginning of a development that gives publisher executives wet dreams - DLCs at every turn, monthly subscriptions even for offline content ... I for sure won't act as cow for the publishers to milk for money at every corner.

I agree. It is neat that they have the opportunity to update or patch your game at every available time that way but that function could just as well be implemented when you choose to go online. They sure are exploiting the DLC market and just look at what X-box has become now, you can't turn it on once without being prompted about updates or "necessary" or "cool" content for your game. It's annoying to say the least. Industry is industry and if things get much worse than they are right now, I'm not buying their games. If they implement that behaviour in SOW I'm not buying that either. Updating or patching should be a user choice, not publishers.

plus it's highly invasive

Ubi is not the publisher, end of.

I don't think it's invasive at all, it's just unnecessary. I had internet problems a while ago and guess what, couldn't play Rise of Flight becase of some stupid need for being online all the time. It's reasonable that people don't like it.

Something I can't get is the problem with Star Force. Even the "old" Star Force never gave a single issue on my computer, and in latest versions it's dumbproof and doesn't install anything.

What's up with that? Buy, install, type a number in a box and you're good to go. Hard, ain't it?
