[Abbeville-Boy]

there is a price to pay to keep the game secure, i won't mind too much

[csThor]

Honestly: No game developer or publisher decides when my own PC has to be online. I may grant them the right to check the validity of my copy after installing it (or maybe once a month, after asking me for my permission to do so), but I will absolutely not tolerate a game which tries to force me to stay connected to some online server all the time. Because that, in my opinion, is the stealthy attempt to introduce pay-to-play even for offline games and I will most certainly not stuff my hard-earned € down some publisher's throat (not to mention that the marketing department would surely like to bombard me with tailor-made spam mails).

If SoW follows this trend then I have to bear the pain and not purchase it for I absolutely refuse to sign away my own rights as customer and PC admin.

Great update Oleg. Those ground pictures were great and shows the great detail level you've put into the game compared to IL2. Hopefully we will be able to try SoW:BOB for our selves this year

I thought was a great idea, a minor detail but a detail that would be great for immersion, just hearing that there is livestock is great to know

...do they make motion capture suits for animals?

Relax, take a deep breath. If Ubi were still the publishers AKA Nov 2006 announcement then I am sure Oleg would have no problem saying so

I share your opinion. At release day with online requirement for single player, I would still buy it but only if it was very inexpensive (say 7€). Without that crap, around €50. More if maps, box etc. More restrictions & surveillance = value (and willingness to buy) drops a lot. I skipped Rise of Flight because of the online requirement, but when they removed it I wasn't interested enough anymore with SoW around the corner. But it is possible I will revisit it if SoW turns out to have the same problem.

Animals - Interesting. May add a sense of scale, and of a living breathing world where it isn't just aircraft and buildings etc. I don't care if we can't shoot them. But perhaps to be able to crash into them somehow when ditching.. Oh whatever, as long as they run away from us.

I have it on good authority that SoW:BoB is to be published by a joint company formed by British Petroleum, the Israeli Defence Force, and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. It is clearly in safer hands there than at Ubi.
