It will not be limited to PCs, but since PCs are the great Pirate Playground, that's where it starts.
It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.

I think GE meant to say SH4. The Pacific Silent Hunter Version, the last game not the latest.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

I guess it should work. SHIII runs perfectly on my laptop with a stinking Intel GM965 integrated graphics. SHIV has the same graphics engine. I played it on my old desktop - nice game but SHIII is better, especially with the GW mod.

I have been keeping an eye on Silent Hunter V,and according to a lot of the old timers on the Subsim forum,including Neal Stevens,the web page honcho,Silent Hunter V is another one of Ubisofts get it out the door,and then start patching it till they get it right.The DRM thing is just another annoyance,that the hackers will crack quickly,and the decent players have to put up with the BS.I play Order of War and it has Steam for it's annoyance.I just try to pretend it's not there.I'm still playing SH IV Modded up nicely,so I'm in no hurry for SH V to be brought up to standards.In my opinion the modders at Subsim keep Ubisoft afloat.Computer games are becoming fewer and farther between.The gaming consoles are taking over the market.,I'm going to miss the good old days when we had to use Memmaker to free up enough memory to play DOS games!Anyway stay away from Silent Hunter V for now.Check back in about one month and it might resemble a decent sim.

That surely will mark the end of PC gaming.

Doubt it.

People said the same of Steam.

Took a few years for people to buy into it but they did.  I'd be interested to see the statistics on PC games purchased via retail v. online.

Bet their closer than they've ever been.

Personnel preference for me is that I will always buy a hard copy over digital download, The DRM does suck and it really is a pain in the ass. especialy in the UK if you move house or change your ISP, you wont have any Internet for around 2 weeks.

Not to my knowledge.

I think my post confused you.

SH4 - Pacific (unless there is a mod to make it Atlantic)
SH3 & 5 Atlantic.

As far as I am aware.
