I have a theory; We are UBI, then ...
If making a game costs 100, making a half costs 50 and we are saving the time too.
Well, we release the half-game, no matter what happens, the hardcore gamers, who loves the game, impulse purchase that product. Subsimmers are very tough gamers. Money is coming...
There are, too, a well trained comunity capable of modding the game and make it works. Of couse, this people works for free, they love the game too. And Ubi loves them.
We, UBI, are "supporting" the game, of course. weŽll make patches that fix all those bugs, found by gamers(now testers
too). No need beta-testers at all.
Time passing...
Subsimmers comunity modding...
Money still arriving guys. .!
Comunity effors eventually gets the game works properly... Who cares! we are already thinking about the next game...
Here it comes..... All hail Silent Hunter ? !!!
