There was time where the future of sub sim and hence this site looked bleak.
But ever since Silent Hunter III game publishers finally reckon that submarine simulation has a huge faithful followers but they missed the point that good game design is a prerequisite to successful selling especially with the usually more demanding simulation audience hence they came out with Silent Hunter IV. One or two more titles like that and submarine simulation publishers can see over half of their potential customers quitting their sub sim hobby. It's not about coming out with what gamers want but rather to make the gamers wanting the game! Setting trends rather following them is the mantra of hugely successful story.
As for me I'm hooked since the day of sub command. I admit the majority of sub simmers here play only Silent Hunter series.
