Create a new one
 
I think instead of fixing this game, the modders, fans etc should get together (figuratively speaking) and create a sub sim from the ground up. Realisitically, it's not likely that SH5 will be 'fixed' entirely... or that a SH6 will ever see the light of day...
It's not an impossible concept... there's a huge pool of interested people with obvious skills (the modders) I'm sure a few people could write code amd start creating. Sure it's not going to happen overnight, but it's certainly do able...

As for Ubisoft, the best way they could recover from this, would be to simple release the source codes for SH5 and let it go into the public domain...(the caveat being no commercial use allowed) Even if that were not possible, then licence the source code for people to use with the same caveat.

It's just not as easy as you think it is. Development on Danger From the Deep is ongoing, but at a very slow pace.

Of course not, I havent played SH3 for a couple of years and have no opinion on it one way or another. On the other hand, I would never dream of going into the SH3 forum and posting blanket insulting comments about those that play it. It is just good manners.

Yet, a handful of posters who do not own the game think it is perfectly acceptable to come into the SH5 forum and insult those that play the game.

I usually ignore that type of juveline behavior since I figure those posters must lead a bitter, empty life to get their kicks that way, but enough is enough.

If someone has nothing better to do than post their "opinions" on a game they don't own, fine, but don't insult the rest of us who play and enjoy the game, despite with its current faults.
