I have many games that require some sort of connection and it didn't stop me enjoy them. I have a bunch of steam games, ROF, and all the Lock On games and i never had a problem with them.
With the fast connections this days, a game with poor DMR is doomed from the start.

I'd say let them get paid for their work.

I would recommend this reading to everyone saying DRM is a good thing.

How to Torpedo Yourself Without Even Trying @ SimHQ

I am all in for Steam that allows offline play. But Ubi DRM is just what it is - like the above title says.

By the time it's hacked, a ubi-style drm will be too.

Precisely. There is no game protection that can't be hacked. And when legit users have more problems than the ones with pirated copies, the choice is obvious.

Right... Oleg posts some updates, gets a s**tload of answers in the thread of course, and by the time I happen to drop in we're on page 62 with the so-called "discussion" turned into a s**t-slinging match - which, incidentally, is exactly how it was during the IL-2 days, too, every time there was an update.

The f**k is wrong with you bozos?

Some people get the internet confused with reality....

Exactly! Everyone whines about the problem of how to protect their anonymity on the net - while the major problem with the net is the said anonymity... You get home to some friend to fix their computer and it's full of porn they never would have bought in a shop with nasty magazines - people behave like teenagers in forums like this as there are no "real" consequences for it as they are just "an avatar" (accept banning if they go to far). Then they just continue to some other forum harassing people in a way they never would IRL, behaving like 14 year old again...

But still it is rather nice - here I can rant about this and being "an avatar", no one can check if I have porn on my own drive

Something HAS to be done...It may not be perfect, but it has to start somewhere and then improved....

Salute !

Thirdwire productions are selling their games without any DRM at all. Just over the internet with no big publisher and his marketing department behind them. And they still stay in business.

They should search for a way that actually works, not DRM that is cracked within a few weeks. Annoy the pirates not their loyal customers. Maybe something like marked versions to more easily track them down or make sure that each new patch won't work with the pirated copies.
