Oleg knows that many in Eastern Europe either cannot afford or do not live near high-speed connections (similar to Canada). He also has state that it is the distributor (not the developer) that attaches the DRM.

Is any of this correct? How far off am I? Last edited by KG26_Alpha; 01-20-2011 at 06:45 PM. |

If you live in a rural area of Bangladesh, you have other major problems to deal than "intrusive DRM". We aren't "snob", just pointing that the MAJORITY of people whinning about DRM aren't poor people... It's plain clear. Simple as that. Is more a "moral' problem, and I agree with the criticism about DRM. DRM sucks. But isn't a "poor x rich" issue. |

It's actually funny how many people in the US don't have access to broadband...
My uncle lives pretty far outside of any nearby town, and he has no option but a really crappy dial-up line. He also absolutely loves combat sims of all forms on the PC (his favorite being WWII subs and planes). Well, Ubisoft has already effectively shut him out of Silent Hunter V, and now they're potentially going to shut him out of Oleg's new BoB sim (depending on their final DRM implementation)! Maybe I'll end up boycotting Cliffs of Dover just like I'm still boycotting Silent Hunter V... Hey, Ubisoft! Not everyone has a constant internet connection (or one at all)! |

I certainly hope so. Ubi's DRM implementation will definitely determine the course of things... |

One time activation is still rather annoying but a bit less onerous than continual connection, at least you can take your gaming rig to work or a friends to activate or maybe even borrow a wireless internet modem for the day.
Its an interesting psychological quirk that people that spend all day and night online just assume the whole world is also online. |
