Doesn't matter to me and shouldn't matter to anyone who the publisher is, if that stops you, i do feel sorry for you and the time you've wasted w8ing for it.

meh .. if the DRM is too onerous on SOW I will just ignore it like I did ROF and go do something else.

To be honest with the amount of time I have spent on IL2 I could have built my own airplane by now - it might be a good thing if SOW is loaded down with horrible counter-productive DRM software to encourage me to go do something more constructive

They are using these forums for IL-2 and still the publisher in europe and many other parts of the world was ubisoft...

I second the posts in this topic though. I will not buy this from Ubisoft or Steam or any other release with crazy DRM lockdown. Are there any news on this?

The point is this. I see Steam as a spyware and don't want it running on my system.
With ubisoft... we all knew the issues with it it's DRM attempts.

I just want a simple game that I can install and put the disk away again. In fact I don't even have an optical drive attached to my workstation anymore and most of my CD's and DVD's are broken.


So if things don't work out in europe to me the only options are:
1. Getting an english release through 1c or any other retailer without crazy DRM
or
2. Buying the russian version and play with a cracked english one.

I'm German and I don't mind playing an english version. But I can't speak russian so sadly that's out of the question...


I want to support the developers and honest publishers with my money, not a publisher who treats PAYING customers like pirates. It shouldn't be the people who buy the game suffering from stupid DRM. If anything it should be the people NOT paying for the game.

I'd love to pre-order this game DRM free in english directly from the developers / 1c (I don't mind a key for multiplayer or anything but no rootkits, crazy DRM locks like activations or forced on-line only play etc.). I wouldn't even mind sending the money straight to Oleg himself and getting a copy. I just definately won't buy it if it's coming from the people at ubi or any other publisher that has nothing else to do other than developing DRM schemes.

This goes especially for European releases and even more so for German ones. We pay really high prices here, much more than any other country usually, for example the USA or UK (a ton cheaper), even for english titles. And on top of that we get our asses kicked for paying more. No thanks.

A game's just bit's and bytes but still some publishers are treating the customers who payed for a game worse than... poop. I don't want to depend on remote servers and ask some 3rd party if I am allowed to play the game that I bought.
I'm sure anyone can understand this at least a little bit.

1C have not set up a dedicated Storm Of War forum though, we are still having to use the IL2-Sturmovik forum to get WIP screenies and other small bits of info.
