Surely it must be that they abandoned it for whose knows what reason, a reputable company would never do this, totally bad publicity, what is there marketing ploy??? Mind boggling though isn't it, and if the Developers had no hand in this it would have to be a huge embarrassment.

Here is the score. UBI executives in a boardroom:

#1 OK. SHV is set of release in 1 month.

#2 But it's still in beta, we aren't ready.

#3 (looking at the subsim website) Well, we have used our propaganda to positive effect. The fans say they will love it!

#2 If we release a defective product, we will be despised...

#1 Here is the plan... slap together a semi playable game, and let the Mods on the site fix it... they are the true fans. They are a bunch of suckers will fix a majority of the problems FOR FREE; then in 2 months or so we will give the promise of an expansion to fix the rest. More money and we look like geniuses! Now lets break and get our bonus....
