Now... it is turn to Il-2 series - to end up in recycle bin of simulation history.

Very, very sad... after years of waiting - we end up with online DRM and Ubisoft ?!?

As I read it, the majority of people gave up on Silent Hunter V because it wasn't anywhere near as good as its predecessors game-wise, not because of DRM. We know that's not going to be the same with this sim.

Given that many of us are prepared to fork over our money in the general direction of Oleg & Co I for one will be glad to see some form of DRM involved - I want to see this production become successful and be profitable, not available free to anyone without a conscience. And if you think that everyone would pay up 'cos we're all sim fans' then you're out of your mind.

Stop it with the DRM ranting! Ubisoft released Silent Hunter V and Assassin Creed II with that "Constant online DRM" and they soon afterwards released patches to remove it. They learned their lesson. R.U.S.E. was just released and it didn't have that DRM, just the "Activate then Play" DRM.

Maybe you should wait until we have an answer before you start working yourselves into a frenzy and smashing all your Warhammer 40K figurines and ripping your anime posters off the wall.

Sure Ubisoft is run by shortsighted crooks. Sure they are heavy handed when dealing with developers and they manufacture child porn on the side, but they do learn from their mistakes when it costs them money. Just be patient and wait for an answer from Oleg or Ubisoft themselves.

I'm not too concerned about the BoB DRM, I'd be happy with online activation, and I don't think they'll require always on (if they did I'd be mad). But I wanted to buy Assassins Creed 2 this christmas, and I didn't because it STILL (at least 2 weeks ago) requires a connection every single time you play. That's an improvement on what it was, but still not good.

What? You're excited that we could see it early next year. Wow, you really are a pessimistic fellow.

Ah, you're still hungover from 2010 - that makes more sense than you hoping we'll see this in 2012.

WOP requires activation and you have to deactivate the installation if you need to install it again or transfer it to another PC. Is it likely that SOW be restricted to a single PC licence (as with WOP)?

We'll have to wait and see when it's out or if Ubisoft makes a press release. I'm guessing Oleg is going to keep his mouth shut since that's probably a "publisher question" that he isn't allowed to answer. Honestly I wouldn't really care about the activation/deactivation thing for installing and uninstalling since I can't afford 2 PC's that will run it.

Wrong mate... fans expressed themselves, very clearly (but too late):

Considering that these are "hardcore" fans... you can imagine the rest of market... (former market)
