If I understand correctly what you are saying is SH5 has the potential of becoming a great game to the point of even surpassing SH3 as we know it today with all the supermods. I haven't played SH5 so I will not dispute your claims I will leave it in the hands of more qualified people then I.
What I would like to understand is the following:
After all the effort of all the mods that have been done over the years to improve SH3 and make it what it is today why the heck should we encourage a half finished game like SH5 by buying it?
If UBI can't take the hint of what a subsim should look and feel like after all that was done; if they can't be bothered to release a better game then amateur programmers (amateurs only in the sense that they are not paid to do it, no insult intended) can do in their spare time; if they treat this game as a cash cow instead of a labor of love like the community does; then why the heck should we support them??
In fact what they are doing is counting on the fact that the game will be moded and made playable by the hardcore fans. So from their point of view why waste man hours and money when it will be done in due time for free by the fans? Just throw together some eye candy generate profits and let the idiots figure it out while we move on to the next project and do it all over again.
I believe that in buying SH5 we support this type of behavior. This has got to stop it’s gone on long enough. It's up to us to make it happen by our actions.
