Roger that.... forums stink when words are easily taken to convey one meaning and not the other (had the same discussion with Webster a year ago or so
)
Im a natuarlly sarcastic humored person and fail to realize that comes out in my typing at times...so I will mea culpa on that quote above.... my apologys to you if my tone was off.
No doubt I agree SH5 has LONG TERM potential...especially with the talented and dedicated sub sim lovers we have here. But thats what gets my goat.
UBI and many other software publishers release buggy software that is half finished and either expect modders to fix it... or like in the case of EA SPORTS and the Madden franchise, DONT allow modding and now no longer produce the sim for PC (but wont let the NFL license go to another company)...then blame poor sales on a diminishing intrest in the genre. When in all actuality it is the consumer is tired of buying a half finished product.
In my mind the average user/consumer of SH5 will NOT mod the sim. Therefore they will judge the sim based on what experience they have out of the box. That experience cannot bode well to the series.... through no fault of the consumer/sub sim grognard.
