Eagle Dynamics prooved a few years ago that if you can demonstrate a SIM which oozes quality you can carve out your own market.
I think subscription or pay-as-you-go models for SIMs has potential if used as a system for growth/content/improvements but you must demonstrate the quality from day one.
If Ubisoft faced their mistakes, sunk another 2yrs dev time into SH5 with the community they could turn the franchise around and name their price.
