If Ubi’s system is now irrelevant to pirates, then the consequences of the DRM are now that only those who pay for their game will suffer from the game refusing to play when your internet’s down, or when away from a reliable signal. Those who illegally download the game will be the only ones who do not have their privacy invaded every time they play. This is incredibly serious.

Very very true it seems to me.

It's going to totally suck for those people and those times when travelling and the hotel or where ever the person might be staying doesn't have internet services.

I went to a party my parents threw to renew their wedding vows in Los Angles and stayed in a really posh hotel in Bel Aire and they didn't even have internet service in something like 65% of the hotel yet, (fortunately I was in the other 35% of the hotel) but still, it's the little things like that which will piss off UBI's consumers when it happens to them and they'll certainly remember the UBI brand name at that point.  Years ago I vowed never to buy another Atari product and I never have since, contrary to what people might want to believe, people do remember and sometimes vote with their wallets.

Settlers 7 really sounds like a great new idea for the Settlers series, although after watching a video of it the other night, it may not be all that big of a deal to miss out on anyway, the graphics (to me anyway, in my opinion and all that) looks borderline Nintendo(ish) which I don't particularly care for.  Still, $50.00 saved in my pocket unless I get a change of heart in the matter.
