I hope it is not the last subsim from Ubi, but I would not be surprised if it is.
If you release unfinished and problematic software, expect the community to venture forth a harsh response. They have no one but themselves to blame, and if they decide not follow up with further releases, oh well, at least we have SH3, 4 and now 5 (assuming it's fixable). That's more than most niche markets usually get, and to be fair, any lack of success is purely down to their business practices.

Personally, I don't think we've seen the last of Silent Hunter, but what form it now takes is still very much the question.
