Oleg, Luthier, you need to give UBI a damn good bollocking.

Although we are actually being install limited.

''How many activations do I get?
You can indefinitely activate your copy of the game on the same PC. You start with three activations (so, three different PC hardware configurations) to begin with. After one month, one activation will be re-credited (up to a maximum of three available activations at any given time).''

How that ties in with the steam 'just use any computer with your steam details to log in' I have no idea.

We are allowed 360+ installs over the next 10 years, and we don't have to be online to play. Seems a small price to pay to help protect our sims genre from total collapse.

Lots of games have 3rd party DRM on top of Steam. Not that I understand why but it's a fact - even though that's usually cracked just as quickly. But then again we still do not know if maybe a 1C/non-Ubi version with Steam as the only DRM, and without Solidshield/Tages, might be available to buy from Steam.

Lots of unknowns about the actual release
