When companies like Ubi and EASports continue to release garbage... piracy goes up.
Whats sad is those companies then either rush the next release to market because they dont have the revenue forcasted to support a long dev period (Case and point SH3, Sh4, now SH5) OR they stop the franchise all together and blame the poor sales on the market not being there (MADDEN FOOTBALL.... for cripes sakes how can they say this is a "niche" market?!).

YES!
Unfortunately some people seem so easily influenced into thinking that everything is the fault of pirates, they fail to see the root cause.

Mattdrizzle, I don't know why you are wasting your time in this thread. If you really want to know how the so called "sub sim community" feels, look right here:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=164177
60% of "the community" say SH5 is GOOD.
and even more important is this "poll":

The rest is just meaningless background noise. |
Erm, those links point merely to subsets of greater audiences and have no correlation to overall game sales or opinion (one can respond merely by posting a comment such as "95% of the US amazon community thinks the game sux").
Statistics can be conveniently misconstrued to argue any point.
