I get it, you're joking.

it says right on the store page, that it does have third-party DRM. Requires permanent internet connection.

With all the talk about this drm, all the topics, all the articles, and you havent read any of it?

Yeah, I was being sarcastic. This is a complex game, and there are tons of things we could be sharing in here - instead the forum has turned into 17 threads screaming about how unfair the DRM is. We get it, it sucks. But what other Sub game am I going to buy where I can play a dirty ♥♥♥♥ torpedoing poor British merchants?

Compared with the other Silent Hunter game, this one seems about par. It ships with some fairly stupid bugs, has a few ridiculous usability issues that would have made some dude in Soviet Russia embarassed, but that's the SH-series for you - it was never polished or smooth.

So for those of you who have the energy for the DRM-fight I suggest you get involved with that and leave the poor sub-geeks alone in here.

These places seem like a good place to start:
