Funny,I had the same thought.Did they count on the fact that the hardcore would rejoice at a new SH and buy it regardless and see them as guaranteed sales,then made a game to lure in the casual players ?
Was the decision to end the game in '43 so that casual players would not get slaughtered every time they put to sea after then and block up the Ubi forums with cries of 'the escorts know where I am as soon as I try to attack and I can't shoot anything' or 'aircraft blow me up as soon as I leave port'
I was so looking forward to SH5,even cancelled my WoW account last year because I had the Atlantic waiting once again,but some of the design features in the game did not appeal to me and then when the DRuM surfaced,well that I couldn't bear.
I've seen it on the shelves and man have I come close,but alas,not this time old friend.Or maybe that should be 'not yet old friend...not yet',we'll see.
This is in no way intended to offend or insult people who have bought the game but merely to try and get a grip on Ubi's reasoning behind some of their decisions.
If you have the game and are enjoying it...more power to ya
