If they were profitable in the 90's, shouldn't they still be profitable today?

I would be happy to pay for a fixed/updated version of SH 4.

Games cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands for big games to develop in the 90's.

These days they cost millions or tens of millions. Of course you could just develop a simple DOS game but who would buy it? Sure the market is bigger now too, but I think the increase can be tributed more to FPS enthusiasts than subsimmers.

Sorry but it looks like you people fear to face an intelligent opponent.
Cuz that's what you get on going online.

To easy to shot down AI cargos, you get used to the algorythm. Humans are different.

I have no problem at all putting my skills up against others as I play MMO's all the time now don't get me wrong I'm not saying that I'm the best thing since sliced bread in fact I'm more the usual average player. What I'm pissed about is the fact that Ubi are now just as bad as EA as in a bunch of money grabbers that couldn't care less about their customers. Personally I won't play the game...I mean I love silent hunter though reducing it to a browser game? Now that's just insulting.

Love the youtube link btw really funny xD

They will still be AI opponents as far as combat goes, users do not get to be the allies we are all u-boats! The only competition between humans will therefore be in climbing the aces leaderboard.
