You are right, but the core mission statement for Subsim has always been, to support sub game developers and the people who play subsims. Politics and sub games are apples and oranges. |
Supporting developers of sub games? Or developers of subsims? Nice rhetoric, Neal.
I understand your point of view and in the core you are right. But wheres the objective differentation in this topic? You cant say, we are just supporting all of them.
Cause
in this whole discussion i miss one important point: What about the facts in progress and information with this game? And the rating of this behavior? Maybe from this point of view a support for such manner is no longer appropriate...
Look
Most of us follow the development of sub games since more than 10 or 20 years. Me too (my first subsim was silent service and wolfpack). And we are a very passioned and skilled community, which made SH3 to one of the most worthful subsims ever. We all are not dumb and have our opinion about, how the 5th part of this series should be - analysing the former versions. So UBI noticed that...and we where all made
very hopeful, with a lot of
big words (UBI in summer 2009: Now, we are
doing all different, New ways in creation, We will have a
special community developer, the
community really counts for us. Be sure, to get a really
nice game, to your long term needs, etc.) and now we all see, not to get most of anything from that, what has beeing
promised and proclaimed...adding a really
unfair kind of information policy (e.g. why didnt got neal the preview version first, before any press got it???)...and all this beside the facts of
semi dynamic game content, only
one boat, a
limited time line, an
console optimized gameplay and interface...and things like
non-local savegames,
permanent net connection...etc.
So, is there still the need of politeness in supporting the studio, which just follows the orders from UBI HQ?
