My view is that Ubisoft has had too many chances to get it right, and that they keep getting it so wrong is an indication that they could not really care less about SH franchise.
I hope and pray that they have a tantrum over sales and say they wont produce another.
There are plenty of excellent smaller developers who could produce as good or better as any SH title ever released.
Ubisoft are not the only game in town, and a decent sub simulator has a guaranteed 200,000 sales plus worldwide which is more than enough for a strong 2 year dev process, and still a large profit margin thereafter.

It is my hope the Devs in Romania get released from UBISTANK and get with a GOOD niche market publisher (remember the SSI of old guys) and live their dream of developing a Silent Hunter that ALL can be proud of.
Without a doubt, if the devs had more budget and another 6 months to a year on SH5 it would have been a thing of BEAUTY.
In fact.... why didnt UBI have any beta testers....this would have elminated 90% of the bugs before release?? Is it Ubi's policy to NOT beta test? Such a shame as this community is not only full of subsim experts...but modders that UNDERSTAND the code and when things work as they should or not. And some of the BIG mod developers have PROVEN they can keep their mouth shut (GWX folks were great at keeping us guessing to the end) Why not tap that level love/dedication/devotion?
