This is what i'm talking about: Sonalysts and eSIM didn't have a big publisher to promote their wares. UBI CAN promote SH, so even a half finished SH can be sold off as the greatest thing since sliced bread because there's no room for anyone else at the moment. If UBI buggers off to the console market, you'll see a new WW2 sub sim come cautiously into the light within a year or two.

This is what i´m hoping for. eSim Games and Bohemia Interactive didn't start out with military contracts, eventually their engines were evaluated and found fit for purpose as mil training tools.
