Gamersgate have Silent Hunter 4 Gold on sale at 75% off but it has Tages. IIRC there has been a lot of negative comment about the DRM. Is it an "acceptable" DRM now - i.e. conflicts with Win7 resolved, not intrusive any more?

So - Snog, marry, or avoid? ;)
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

On a good day, our legislature has the prestige of a drunk urinating on a wall at 4am and getting most of it on his shoe. On a good day  ::) Steelgrave

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat

Tagés is better than StarForce, but not as good as DRM-Free. According to this info at GamersGate, Tagés normally has online activation with limited installs.

I dislike Tagés and its ilk with their limited installs, but considering the abundance of unplayed games in my backlog along with how cheap most games are nowadays they don't bother me as much as they once did. Paying $5 for a game I wanted to try would not prevent me from purchasing Silent Hunter 4 Gold even if it only has three or four installs and online activation, provided there is nothing more draconian that I don't know about.

In short, if I wanted to play SH4 I would pay $5 to do so despite its Tagés DRM.
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

Thanks Greybriar. I appreciate your advice. :)

I now need to check if the sale is still on! :-\
