Increasingly, he seemed concerned by Melinda’s difficulties rather than hers.ĭuring a weekend at the Macleans’ dacha outside Moscow, a drunk Philby fell and broke his wrist. These days his kindness seemed directed to others rather than to her. ‘His courtesy was gone,’ she noted, as he upbraided her sneeringly for ‘always looking so damned smart’. The Macleans had known Philby longer than she had, and Melinda was well placed to confirm she wasn’t imagining the distance there now was between them.Įleanor hoped a trip to Leningrad to celebrate both Christmas and their wedding anniversary might help, and Philby seemed happy to go along with it, as long as there was plenty to drink.īut while they were away he was distant and impatient, snapping at her for her failure to assimilate the Soviet way of life. Melinda replied enigmatically: ‘He did, until a while ago.’ Pictured: Kim with his wife EleanorĮleanor trusted Melinda and asked her outright if she thought Philby still loved her. Her husband, the spy Kim Philby, affected to feel as warm as ever towards her and strove to be kind and solicitous. Maclean’s wife Melinda was also finding her husband more and more difficult and weepily confided to Eleanor that she was no longer sharing a bedroom with him. The secretive man who for 30 years had betrayed his country before defecting to the Soviet Union was keeping some revelation from her.Īll he would tell her was that he had fallen out with his old friend Donald Maclean, his fellow Soviet spy and defector to Moscow, after Maclean claimed that Philby might still be working for the British. Clearly there was a big problem she was not privy to. Once again he was taking refuge in heavy drinking. His language was endearing, even syrupy.īut behind all that, she wondered whether the person for whose love she had chosen to go into exile was closing down and shutting her out. seeing her family, Eleanor Philby sensed something was going awry in her marriage. So is there some known limitation now on how many PCs the game can be installed/activated? We've already had all these "3-5 activations and yer out!"-type of schemes, and many people didn't seem to be too fond of them either.On her return to Moscow from five months in the U.S. I guess that's why they are also pushing the "social features" in so many games, then they can claim it is not DRM anymore, even if even a single-player game needs to contact their servers.īy the way, I presume it still keeps tracks of the activations. They must be mightily annoyed that so many people are not fine with always-online DRM on their games, so they are backing down from it for now. Maybe they originally thought "Hey, if Blizzard can do it with Diablo 3, why shouldn't we do it as well?". Just mentioning because you asked when GOG would release the game too.īut nice anyway that Ubisoft keeps loosening the DRM from their most draconian methods. Yes, but I think even that one-time online activation would be against GOG's current policy about DRM. Phaidox: In other words - yes, a one-time activation is still in place, but the always-online requirement is -oh, joy!- totally gone. In other words - yes, a one-time activation is still in place, but the always-online requirement is -oh, joy!- totally gone. It is worth mentioning that the first two of the aformentioned steps can be done entirely offline.

All you have to do is install the game, update it to the latest version (via UPlay or manually, if you so desire), then connect to the internet only once when running the executable. Which, of course, is still much more preferable form of DRM.
There's nothing new in that, there have been also other "always online"-DRM games that changed the DRM to "ok, you need to activate it only once when you install it on a new PC, but you still have to activate it"-DRM. If it still needs to be activated online before you can install or play it for the first time on that other PC, then unfortunately it still has online DRM.
Can you still install and play it there, without any online activation needed?

Timppu: Just so that you (or me) are not misunderstanding something:įrom your current PC where you are running the game, move it to another PC which is not connected to internet.
