That's pure BS.
If Ubisoft put out a good game, it would sell itself. If it's cr@p, then people won't buy it. Simple supply and demand.
If the series dies it's not the fault of the consumers, it is fairly and squarely the fault of the developer (yes, I said it!) and the publisher, for failing to provide what the majority of consumers wanted.
To that end, I don't want SH5 to fail, but if it does, I will not carry any guilt. Indeed, I will see it as hopefully a fresh beginning in the subsim genre. It may take a few years, but I have no doubt that an indie dev house will take up the challenge.
In other words, I have as much loyalty to Ubisoft as they have to me...no more...no less...

Wow, JScones. Very well stated. It's insane that so many SH fan boys here are blaming us (who are saying 'no more') for Ubisoft's slow, imminent death. Ubisoft dug their own grave by continually releasing buggy, half-finished games, and then never fully finishing or patching them later. And now they are adding this DRM crap to most of their games. I cannot believe how many people here have said that they will continue to support Ubisoft with their money, regardless of how often Ubisoft bends them over and rams them.
Ubisoft is about to learn that they screwed over their customers just once too many times. The writing is on the wall for them.
