To me Cold Waters was certainly a beautiful beast that gave our beloved genre a good bowl of fresh air 2 years algo already (even if that air came directly from the 90s - but another proof that Microprose in its market segment was right all along ^^ )
I think we were lucky to get Cold Waters and UBOAT, the genre hasn't just been dying, it's been dead since 2010. Not even on hiatus, just flat out dead and buried.

I know some folks on here don't give a damn about new games, but I firmly believe that without them it's going to be harder and harder to keep people interested in the genre. New blood is essential to maintain a healthy community, and old games won't cut it.
