I want a simulation, not an arcade game.
Also, there there are many good PC games and simulations out right now that I'm having fun with, and new ones on the horizon I'm looking forward to. A game has to be very good to be worth my money and investment of time. I don't want to spend hours "playing" and being frustrated at the same time. When it looks to me like SH5 has crossed that threshold, I'll pick it up.

Well, before release I also was very upset at the idea of this nonsense DRM scheme, something forced onto legal owners that is technically not required. But soon the quality of the product itself came to light, and it was obvious that the developers were pressed into or even agreed to push it out fast instead of completing it. The arcade stuff, the good concept of dynamical campaign badly executed with nonsense goals, the lack of the promised port interactivity and so much stuff incomplete, bugged, superficially working etc. Even without DRM I would rather think I gain more by spending my time with better games. SHV unfortunately had some very good design ideas, and enormous potential, and maybe if modders made it THEIR product (you couldn't possibly call that mods anymore), it could still be brought to fruition. But not now.
