I couldnt care about the DRM in a game that was as fantastic as Anno 1404.

Looks excellent. Never got round to playing the others, but can't wait for this one!

Do yourself a huge favor and buy it on steam at least.

Oh wowzers, that screenshot above made my jaw hit the floor!
 
Bought it (Gold version) as a digital download from a high-street games shop. A bit weird but as already discovered, it's no longer available on Steam. Rubbish.

Digging deeper, the reason for the withdrawl is that Ubisoft are refusing to patch the US Steam version. Good old Ubi. :rolleyes:
 
Wow, that really sucks thats it not available on steam anymore! Will the steam version still get any future updates?

They don't carry it because Ubisoft refuses to patch the Steam version of the game for US players. This means, among other things, you could put 100 hours into a game and have the savegames all get corrupted, losing everything in the blink of an eye.

Ubisoft support sucks.

Not verified that though.

Not saying it is true but Ubisoft do seem an odd bunch at the moment.

It does seem that Ubisoft do like Steam at the moment so there is a possibility it could be Steamworks.
 
Wait, the limited activations has been removed from 1404? Time to buy it finally :D
What digital download platforms have it over here? Not on Steam or Impulse, and I'd rather have a DD that automatically downloads the latest versions so I don't have to install tages at all :x
 
hmm the dock section from the trailer looks just like anno 1404 but re-skined

i hope most of the game isnt like that
 
The activations are still limited, but they reset each month I think.

+1 has been like that for a while. I remember a time shortly ater it arrived on steam though that for some reason ubisoft "moved" the activation server so you couldn;t even activate a new version for about 2 months...... odd bunch
 
Tycoons or Ecos... Please tell me the final game will have more creative names than that?

And why can't you have efficient and environmentally friendly factions? A bit of spurious stereotyping with their lousy faction names, there! :p

Still, looks very pretty. Loved Anno 1701.
 
I must have missed this thread when it was made! Just realised now that it has been announced and I'm looking forward to it like a little child.

Not wanting much specifically but I hope they fix some of the minor annoyances that has to do with the UI and trading, etc :) And that they don't go a completely different direction and ruin the game...
 
I don't love Anno 1404, but I do enjoy it! After a while the music and the people start to annoy me!

Could someone please explain to me why DRM should affect people buying the game? WHY? I'll buy it with DRM or not...

An unnecessary pain in the ass. It's an offline game so why can't you play offline without being connected to the internet? You go away camping and take laptop with you for example.
