Me as a valid customer, I have the right to smash their faces, scream my anger all over the world and never buy another product with their logo on it. But if this gets mixed with those feelings and hate who don't own the game, my voice will never be heard and taken seriously.

See you've got that totally wrong. I own copies of SH3 and SH4. My purchase of Ubi products and production of value enhancing content for them makes me a legitimate poster. (produced any mods or tutorials Magnum? What have YOU added to the value of Ubi products? No, huh? Nothing, huh?) Therefore I am a vested customer, already demonstrating my ability and willingness to purchase Ubi products and enhance their value to Ubi when they meet my requirements. SH5 falls short. Very short. Jingle! Jingle!
See, they hear that message. They know who I am. They know about my contributions to the SH4 world. They will either respond to my jingle and make money or not and publish console shoot-em-ups with whatever Sword of Damocles DRM they think is appropriate for people willing to pay to be abused.
After they make the wrong decision we will get the submarine simulation we need. After they make the right decision we will get the submarine simulation we need. Either way, withholding the money wins.
On the other hand, paying the money is rewarding their behavior so far and is in no way an encouragement to change. And the day they pull the plug on their 3 lousy servers, you have nothing but a drink coaster and wasted hard drive space. For that reason it doesn't even matter how good the game is.
