Online DRM has destroyed SilentHunter series... 90% of real fans where outraged and abandoned series, disgusted... I've seen it all.
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 ?!? |

This is the last moment to avoid Ubisoft "single player permanent connection and online save..." rubbish. But it takes a loud voice of il-2 community warning!!! ( I am afraid that Oleg has already signed his Ubisoft marriage... ) Last edited by Sasha; 01-14-2011 at 01:47 AM. |

Oleg has a mind of his own, and the most excellent air combat simulator available, even now with the old Il2.
He has many years of experience with Ubisoft. I'm quite sure there will be mutual respect in any agreement they will make. Ubisoft blew it when they put invasive piracy protection in PE-2 addon and it bombed. There was no further PE-2 type protection in any subsequent add on Il2 releases. A lesson learned I would say. You can complain of course, but don't make a nuisance of yourself in the process on these boards. Our members will only tolerate so much... Thanks |

Oleg knows that, he is very in-touch with his users. Online activation, if it is used will probably be a first time activation only. |

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.

DRM
DRM DRM DRM 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. |

What? You're excited that we could see it early next year. Wow, you really are a pessimistic fellow. Last edited by Triggaaar; 01-14-2011 at 08:15 PM. |
