New super-subsim developed by Modders ?

Hi mates,

calculating the unbelievable amounts of skill, work and love modders put in the SH-series, especially SH3, i start to think that they already put more work into the game than UBI did developing it. Is that right? Sorry, maybe the question sounds funny or even stupid to some PC/modding/programming experts, but i am just a poor user (but true subsim-lover) with more or less NO PC SKILLS OR PROGRAMMING KNOWLEDGE AT ALL.

Being unexperienced and naive too maybe, i ask myself, why all the modders don't team up together and develop a new super-subsim, including all the experience gained in years by subsimmers/modders in our community. Networking via the internet would be a possibility to connect people from all over the world, and the money needed could be organised by crowdfunding. Submarines are very popular worldwide, the internet is full with related issues. Also a lot of people love submarine movies, so i definitely think a project like this could gain great interest.

Maybe this is just a total pipedream, but calculating all the efforts people put in the perfectioning of the SH-series, they maybe could have built a true super-sim in the meantime, networking all together.

As said above, i just do some guessing here, and i don't get keelhauled now for this childish approach.....

If i should be totally wrong with this idea ( i am sure to be not the first person coming up with this anyway, but i could not find it in the forum) please tell me the exact reasons why this dream could never come true, giving me at least the chance to learn some things about producing a subsim / PC game.

LONG LIVE ROCK'N'ROLL AND THE SUBSIM COMMUNITY
