Hitler finds out about Silent Hunter 5's new OSP

In January 2010, Ubisoft announced the Online Services Platform, which forces customers to not only authenticate on the first game launch, but to remain online continually while playing, with the game even pausing if network connection is lost. This makes it impossible to play the game offline, to resell it, and means that should Ubisoft's servers go down, the game will be unplayable.

That does kind of make me want to avoid the game:/ My internet can be sporadic

It looks interesting though. Anyone have experience with the first four, what are they like?

Silent Hunter III was the definition of awesome.
Silent Hunter IV was epic fail.

The fact that the trailer was in English makes me think this one will be epic fail as well. And I'm going to pirate it because of the DRM, fuck ubisoft.

Also, that has to be one of the best Hitler bunkers I've ever seen.

How can you pirate it if there's DRM and all the other protection stuff on it?

And why fuck ubisoft? I'm no fan of DRM but I can see why they do it - to protect their investment.

I'm going to buy Silent Hunter 3 instead. 5's DRM forces me to play with an active internet connection, which I don't always have with my laptop, and I don't feel like scanning cracks for viruses.

DRM only affects legal versions of the game, pirated versions are DRM free. Ironic, isn't it?

Also, I bought SH3 on steam the other day for $10. A bargain.

Also, for anyone playing SH3, I highly recommend GWX3.0, awesome mod.
