As was Dangerous Waters, but I don't see Sonalysts breaking their neck to make another do you? And neither is any other game company. Why bother when you can make a cute puppy dog game with a third as many devs in a third of the time and sell ten times more copies?

And much as I admire DFTD and all other indie developments they are still along way from being comparable to the SH series. Only Jutland & Distant Guns are cohesive and complete enough to be on the same level and they are truly wargames rather than first person simulations.

The real problem is that companies like EA & Ubi (not the devs but the suits) have stopped listening to their customers and in the economic downturn are focussed on delivering "value" to their shareholders rather than quality product to their customers, big mistake.
