Locked thread, no explantion or reason why ???

[Bonger Bob]

Ubisoft, WeBmad

can a moderator please state the reason as to why this was locked, there is no breach of any TOS as far i can see from any posts on the thread.

This was made as a courtesy for the steam community with respect to prevent customers from unwhitting purchasing titles without an awareness of the DRM requirements.

I can imagine one reason. Games using Uplay stay that on the store page. Quite clearly, actually. So your past paragraph is a lie already.

[Bonger Bob]

in what way is my past paragraph a lie ??? Please do explain rather than attempting to invalidate my question.

there are people who miss that little bit of fine print / are unaware of what U-Play actually is or how it can negatively impact legitimate software use. The discussion thread i started was based on, and stayed on topic of that exact thing.

or is it now a breach to even discuss DRM in any form ??

"unwhitting purchasing titles without an awareness of the DRM requirements."
That's what you said. The store page mentions the requirement of Uplay already, however. So the DRM requirement is stated. Clearly. On the store page. Thanks for assuming that people don't know what's on the store page, but it's not up to you to repeat the store page in the forum.

Also, the usual way people talk of Uplay is over-the-top drama. Chances are, you did the same.

you're veiw of what is clearly stated is an opinion, mine differers from that, having it half way down the page, in grey does not make it highly visable. This is one of the things that was being discussed in the forementioned thread.

Please back your comments with fact, and read the thread, I have been and am always open to a mature discussion regarding many aspects of gaming, and i welcome you to do the same.

a) There's still no reason to assume that it was discussed properly without drama.
b) So what? It is stated. It's not like it's a problem. Problems might deserve being mentioned on top. This is not a problem.
c) It is still mentioned. It's your own fault if you don't want to read the system requirements and buy something which you can not run. Although Uplay doesn't prevent you from running the game at all.

Refer to the rules because this thread already breaks one

No, i have been very careful not to attempt to discuss moderation. I have simply requested a reason as to understand what breach im alleged to have done as to avoid it in future.

either that or there is an abuse of administration that i will report accordingly. Before i make any assumptions, i like to base them in fact ;)

So anything that has a view that isn't all rosey and sweet smelling has no rights to voice anything ?? very surprising OPINION you have stated. This does nothing to state the fact and question, what in the thread breached a TOS that constituted it being locked ??

we are all VERY aware that steam is DRM, that is one of the points that was being discussed.
personally i have no problem with steam or uplay indivually, but when their bundled and with a buyer beware ethic, we were discussing the pro's and con's of such doubling of DRM and more to the point, making other steam member who may not be aware, that there is DRM additional to Steam when you purchase a Ubisoft game.

Oh another one of those.

It was also discussing piracy. That's another reason for the lock.

Noted, new thread started with that in mind, ty

It was not a "view" that it was discussing it. It clearly is/was.
