Ubisoft's Post-Apocalyptic "I Am Alive" Coming to the PC

[MAC_HATER]

looks good - and these sorts of games interest me a lot - but lets not mess about - its going to have the terrible DRM isint it? if so if i do get it its going to be another "buy the game legit, but install a pirate copy" game to add to the list D:

[citation][nom]Pennanen[/nom]Im not stealing anything, no one loses their game. Also its not a lost sale if im not buying it to begin with.If ubisoft treats everyone, even customers as their enemies, might aswell be the enemy then.[/citation]
If you don't like someone or a company, then don't do business or interact with them! Come on Man! They can't be your enemy if you don't do business with them!

If you're gonna pirate, we can't stop you, but don't give us stupid reasons! And yes, saying that you aren't gonna buy anything so you might as well take it is really stupid. What you should say is, I'm not going to buy it, especially since I can pirate it!

[citation][nom]kcorp2003[/nom]However all distributions store should follow GOG.com, they keep all the community stuff on the website. no client, they dont have their own DRM on their games. you can download a game as many times and install it as many times as you want, its yours to do with as you please[/citation]
I'm not sure if you it's yours do to do as you please to the fullest extent of that statement. I haven't read GOG's terms for their games, but I bet it's more of that they trust you to be responsible and follow the terms. I mean, I bet that would be a huge drop in their sales if people can just legally and morally copy the game. 🙂


$19.99 seems cheaper than usual for a brand new game. I wonder why. Indie games are cheap because they're indie games (and everything else that implies) I would say. DotA 2 is free because they're using a different marketing strategy. I guess the same thing with CS:GO.

It might not have a crap DRM if its from Steam, then again its Ubisoft we are talking about. All i care about is if they will port its properly to the PC, i don't want it to be Multiplayer Compatible with Crapsoles, i want a good PC experience.

Sounds like some borderline trademark infringement against "I am Legend" doesn't it?

[citation][nom]Pennanen[/nom]Valve games dont require always online nor they have limited ammount of installs.[/citation]
Games made by Valve don't, but this isn't made by Valve. They are just the distributing it via Steam.

I bought Anno2070 via steam on sale, and it has DRM and launches uplay while supporting steam overlay in-game.

Also, Anno2070 wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be, just my 2 cents on the game. =/

Is it going to have DRM? Always online DRM? Is it going to come with "uplay" crap?

I will pirate it the day it comes out if I find out from people that it has any of the above.

Well, if you're gonna stick by what it seems you're saying, if it does have DRM, then you oughtta buy it first then pirate it (though it wouldn't be much pirating since you payed Ubisoft). 🙂

[citation][nom]kcorp2003[/nom]I think you misunderstood, where ever steam client is installed your games can be downloaded but just one client log in at a time. steam client must always be on in order to play any game. You can't exit the client. offline mode is something different - internally it still connects steam client to server. But like i said before. All the benefits you get from the steam client outweigh any of the drawbacks. And it's the most flexible DRM. But GOG.com has a warm welcome in my heart. I like their approach better.[/citation]

Steam DRM is not always online, it is one time online check validation.. as long as you keep syncing with the Steam on exit (make sure you dont force exit from Steam when shutting down windows), you can always play your game offline for the next time you want to play the game. And ubisoft's always online is you always need internet connection while you are playing your game , even if the game is single player. Connection lost,, you also lost your game.
