That is where many miss the bus. SH5 is NOT sold as such. This is not your grandpa's Silent Hunter.

I don't like it either, but they can sell whatever they want. As long as consumers buy it, they can even make a profit.

I chose to accept the risk and not tilt the windmill, but I respect other peoples stand on the principal, as long as it is truly principled. I do not respect indignant claims of being swindled when they are coupled with the inability to read clearly labeled products before buying however.

Clearly, Ubi did a poor job of mitigating the risk inherent in their model, on top of pissing folks off with the whole concept, but they certainly did not mislabel the product.
