So the idea that Ubi are doing us all some favour by producing a loss making game is typical corporate pr bunk.
Yes exactly, that's my point. If there was no money in this genre, then they would have stopped with SH3. Clearly that is not the case, so why should SH5, despite it's current problems, be any different is that respect?
