Vile DRM and how i caved to it.

Ok i caved, I have been really anti ubisofts latest DRM which requires a permanent connection when playing even for single player offline content. So no playing on the move or on trips or in any fact any place that does not have a rock solid connection. Any blip or pause in connection and you booted out and all progress is lost to last save point or auto save. Why? Because you dear reader are a lying cheating lowlife and will steal there games if they dont do this. How ever should you get a pirate copy it will be bereft of said DRM so you can play on planes train and automobiles till you hearts content. Isn't it great?

Anyway back to the caving bit, I played the demo of settlers 7 and its amazing, ill talk about it more later when i have my copy but i did end up buying 2 collectors packs for £24 on amazon.co.uk. One each for my wife and I so we can play co-op, This shows how bad we are at voting with our wallets to protest against draconian DRM. But really what dchoice do we have? If we pirate they win and they only knock out sub par crap for the console kiddies and if we buy it then they see it as us embracing the evil machination.


Im off for a cooked breakfast now so enjoy your day.
