It's nice to dream...but they have to protect the game. So don't expect a special DRM free game UBI or not, if thats the route they take for protection

As long as the DRM allows me to play the game where and whenever I want to play it, it's fine for me.

Apparently Ubisoft is already working on the next step. I will still buy SOW but if that's the future of PC gaming I will stick to older titles and open source in future.

I work at Ubisoft as a programmer, which is why I'm posting as an AC. What the next step will be in the DRM, the ramp-up, is gameplay code that is run from the server. So in order to crack that one the pirates will have to fully emulate the server side code. Not the whole of the gameplay code mind you, just a small, but necessary and essential, portion. This should be in effect for the coming summer releases.
For the record I think Ubisoft are being asshat idiots in continuing to ramp up this obscenity of a slap in the face to paying consumers. And I'm not alone, you should see the in-house mailing list flamewars about this (which also means that other employees are freaking greedy douchebags, it's not just the suits.)

Oleg, have you considered going with STEAM for distribution online? It's only getting bigger and better with more followers all the time.

Steam have a corrupted version of IL2 1946 for download so watch out going down that route.

I've often thought of that, and would have been quite happy to buy that at a higher price.

Hell, I have 3 x copies of 1946 on my shelf, two not opened.

If I could get a copy of SoW with focus on the 109, with produced content - both in game and not - giving me many levels of authentic detail, I would pay for it indeed.

without hesitation.

but, i think the cost-benefit to the producer would not be kind due to comparitively low sales?

Still, I live in hope.

Yes absolutely agree, Steam and DRM stuff, no support with my money for that.
As I wish to buy a program and not just rent it.
