SolidShield DRM

I am going to copy my question here from the system requirements thread:

The problem here (we don't have the exact answer) is how many activations you have after the initial 5. Do the new activations accumulate every month until they reach 5 in total or do we just have one per month afterwards. Hope we get an answer soon.

I was quite happy when the Steam option was the deal. How come when I pay for a product I have an install limit? Wouldn't it be better to just have something like Rise of Flight has? Or any Steam game? Online activations suck!

Lots of things from Ubi suck...

Tages has not been hacked yet, because few people actually care for the games that have it. If say Call of Duty used Tages, it would be cracked in days I imagine. DRM is just a waste of money, especially with a game that is aimed at a more mature audience which flight sim enthusiast are, who are willing to support the developers by buying the product.

Let's face it, the game requires a joystick - those things cost if you want quality (IL-2 especially required some good quality controller), if you can afford one, you are denitelly gonna BUY the game.

So why the hell punish the user? Five activations? So I pay for yhe software and I have some restrictions on me? I never heard of a book author that would tell me how many times I can read their book, or a director that would tell me on how many DVD players and TV's I can watch their film.

Anyway's, Tages is not as bad as Starforce was some time ago, but if this DRM stays, than I'm not buying. It's not a protest, blackmail or anything similar - I just don't like to ask the publisher to let me install a game I have already paid for, just beacuse I felt like reinstalling my system 5 times in a week.

Sounds okay to me, I don't add components 5 times a month to my PC anyway, so if I understand correctly, I am connected to the internet once, active it once, and until I change something in my system I don't need to do it again, doesn't sound bad at all. Didn't DCS Black Shark work in the same way? If so what's the difference?

It looks like you have to install some tages (driver or so) stuff too.

I wouldn't have bought it if it was the former UBI DRM with constant connexion...
I don't like TAGES, but I'll do with it... I pre-ordered a collector
