Nisgeis,
Thanks for buying the book. I hope you have enjoyed it.
As you say, the subsim market is limited. Maybe if UBI abandoned it, just maybe, someone would step in and produce something for us to play with.
At the moment that is very unlikely, unless a group like the GWX team developed a new game.
My only point is that UBI is the only game in town and we are doing ourselves a disfavor by knocking it in public and driving potential newbie buyers away.
I was quite happy with SH3 with 1.4 patch. GWX greatly improved it. Without UBI commiting itself to continue producing SH, chances are we would not have any subsims.
I think UBI deserves our support. Bashing SH 5 before we've seen it . . . Well, I already did my rant
Good, bad or indiferent, Once I've seen the game, I will write an honest review and post it on Amazon.
In the meantime, we just have to wait.
