As far as i can see, that's just wild speculation by a few users here.

As far as i see Wags not say what drm use. And not answer questions Why? I think i know.

Yes, you don't because that would be stupid.

When I installed the update. I had to click a button to allow DCS to collect anoymous data from DCS.

SD

what update is that ?

So click "No" instead?

Nate

What exactly is the anonymous data being collected ?

"So IF you are offline for more than 4 days ..... no DCS World"

Guys, while I don't know what this is all about, and frankly I don't care, you need to reread. In your haste to be negative about all things DCS you are missing the part that says, ".....or the next time you log in." Geez..calm down.

That, coupled with the fact that the people complaining about having to connect to the internet every FOUR DAYS post an average of 10 times a day on Sim-Hq to take digs at Eagle Dynamics.

Never let some perceived flaw go to waste in the never ending quest to be a prophet of doom.....

Of course, I really applaud your obviously genuine concern for those who live "off the grid", yet play a (relatively) sophisticated flight simulator in their spare time. Your concern for toothless hillbillies living in hillbilly shacks is truly saint-like.

The point isn't about access to internet or the system "phoning home" every 4 days. The uproar is why the change to this model in the first place?

I also don't understand why the change to a "keyless" system.... I think this is so that people can no longer sell on their modules. Once it's bound to your username, it's done. You can't sell it or give it away because there's no key to be given away. Some people can GIFT you a new copy of a module, but you cannot SELL or GIFT your own modules to someone else. This is how I predict the new system is going to be

Very true.

Who is going to choose to play a SIM as intricate as DCS without access to the internet for advice, support, hints, tutorials etc etc?

And .... the fun starts:

Muahaha...

Is selling used modules common? I'm asking because I honestly don't know. Can you do this in other games? It may just be the direction the industry is headed, but that'd be a total guess on my part.

Someone raised a good point --- why every 4 days? Why not daily? Or 2 days? Or 3? Or 7? Who picked 4 days and why? What's wrong with checking once a month? Or every 2 months?

if I understood it well - the concerns are about privacy and having an intrusive software in your PC



that is what happens when you jump first ...

Golly,

Before you post to the ED forums complaining that your access has been revoked, take the ten seconds required to hide the pirated TV shows on your desktop.

It used to be. People would buy a module, try it out, then sell it on if they didn't like it. Or perhaps buy a module, try it, shelf it for a time, then a new module comes out which the user may find more interesting, so he sells the shelfed module to help pay for the new module. When ED showed more and more incompetence, some people even resorted to giving away their modules for FREE, as some sort of protest action. ED put a stop to selling (or giving away) modules some time back, with a promise to bring in a new system at a later date. We all know how that's progressed.

As for selling games, people do it all the time in console games, selling it to other people or trading it in to a store for store credit or cash. Steel Beasts makes this possible by selling the USB dongle.

At the time of posting this the issue had already been rectified a good long while ago...............

Begs the question:

Why post it?

Don't think it can be any worse than Starforce or the hundred of other things that users install on their PC's every day without knowing exactly what/where/how these things work. Heck, I'm sure that the only safe way these days is if you unplug yourself entirely from the world and live on an island somewhere under a vast lead-lined tinfoil covering. Anything else is fair game in this day and age unless one elects to be selectively picky

minions at all costs defend dcs.it's useless,lost case.
