One reason why SH5 is being aimed at the casual gamer is SH4 did not sell well enough. And how many here refused to buy SH4? Enough, obviously. Granted, SH4 was unfinished, but wait till you see SH6. It will be 100%
unfinished.

SH4 was going to fail...this was no surprise to many of us, right?
And it was not only due to bugs...the STRATEGY didnt fit the exspectations. Many players waited for SH3 v2.0 and NOT for a pacific theater. So the game sold badly. Clear to me. If they would have done it the other way round...SH4 with a better looking atlantic theater AND monsun boats...and AFTERWARDS release the u.s. subwar in pacific theater as an addon...this would have worked better!!! 100% sure.
So, please feel not that offended by the discussion here. It is obvious, that ubi mostly make decisions without customers - bad idea. So i dont understand anybody here, who defends ubi with their silent hunter series...uhhh, if ubi wouldnt do, nobody would.
This is crap. The simulation genre is still very well alive and many still want to play such games. So there would have been another studio, creating an inofficial follower. And if not, the community would have done a GWX4, which might have been better, than SH5 at the actual state!!!
And if you place this kind of DRM on top... What to do, as a customer? Swallow the blue pill and go buying this half baked DRM game, only to get SH6??? lol. This cant be meant serious, Neal.

The only reason this game will fail will be the DRM. It's ridiculous to go into a sale thinking that all your customers are CRIMINALS.
Piracy losses are sooo overblown. 99 percent of pirates will never buy the game, and if they ever do, it will be used off of ebay or some other source. Or, they will wait until it is marked down to $15 and buy it then.
But, while the DRM is attached, NO WAY WILL I TOUCH THIS MOTHER.

Nothing to add on this...beside: the DRM is the major reason. Unconsidered wishes from the community are another.

Imagine if every interior was blogged on a forum. The modeler would never even have to look at google or his library. Some goon here would—in real time—slam the dev with images to use to get it right.
