Clearly you are incapable of forming a coherent argument backed with any proof of your claims and therefore I can only discount your original accusation as meaningless.
As to the time of day you may want to consult a clock then take a look at a time zone chart. It was late afternoon when I posted my original reply so I think I'll go and have a beer instead of a cuppa thanks.
On topic; I do care whether there will be sub sims made in future. I don't care who makes them as long as they are well made. If there is no SH6 then so be it.
That said I won't slavishly buy a game from a publisher just because they make a product line that I'm interested in. I will always excersise my right as a consumer to tell them to shove their product if it contains something I don't like enough to do so.
When I first bought SH1 years ago I had no concept that there may be a SH2 3, 4 or 5. I didn't buy SH4 and unless OSP is removed won't buy 5 until the ecomonics of the bargain bin make it what I consider worth my while submitting to the leash.
I know piracy is a major problem for the PC gaming industry, as it is for the software and recording industry, however if it eventually kills PC gaming off then the pirates will concentrate on console games maybe even killing that market as well; which by the by, they have already moved into.
I don't subscribe to the theory though that the best defense is to penalise honest customers without putting major effort into bringing the major culprits to justice.
Ultimately because this is business, however the cost of prevention and prosecution of the guilty will always be tempered by the cost of that prevention and prosecution. You almost always get what you pay for.
