What copy protection scheme will be on SOWBOB?

Be sure.

Agreed. Whatever you think about protection, Every protection so far has been cracked within 14 days. Several games without any protection at all are doing fine in sales. Copy protection as such is not helping anyone. The ligitimate customers are burdened with the negative side effects, the pirates upload cracked games and don't care one way or the other.

I really hope SoW will be unprotected like the US retail version of Sturmovik 1946, XPlane, and a lot of other fine games. Copy protection never stopped a single pirate.

It's not a question to ask the development team I think. The distributor (Ubisoft) decides on protection schemes.

I will buy SoW regardless. If I have problems with the protection scheme, I'll just wait. Sooner or later a solution will surface.

If SoW is sold through Steam then I will miss it. I don't like the way these download services work. Boonty box was bad enough. I want a physical disc, and no complex activation garbage.

It's getting harder and harder to run a gaming PC without internet connection.

I'm happy to make a phone call to activate a product, just don't want to load down PC with unncessary firewalls, antivirus, antispyware.

Personally I hope they do find a solution to the piracy problem with a protection system that works. Even then, I'd much rather have an annoying protection system than developers dropping combat sims because years of costly, complex work can be download in minutes by some lowlife.
