The discussion of whether SH franchise dies or not is as usual pretty useless and purely speculative. Again, even if it does, then this could be the opportunity for a new submarine sim to rise from the ashes. A new start occasionally is very desirable.

Anyway, if it "dies", then there is only one possible cause that would have led to that decision: economic reasons. Simply that Ubi would decide they loose out with another SH title, or they simple can earn more with a different program. And if SH sales are low now, and they loose out, well, then they probably would quickly know why if they read the posts of the past 3 month on this forum. I think most other (potential) customers will agree with one or the other post here, and the acceptance in PC magazines, online or printed, pretty much reflects this as well. And probably the sticker "permanent online connection required" acts also like a big red stop sign.

Why are we then searching for fault in this forum, with any people??? If SH dies, the fault clearly rests with another group of people -- all on the pay list of Ubisoft corporation. And whether some people learned from the Ubi's history with SHIV, and now say "I told you so", shouldn't matter either. I'd say, unfortunately, judging from the general reception and opinions on what SHV represents now, they were simply right to be cautious. If somebody thinks different about the game and enjoys it, then he shouldn't be bothered by those people either -- for him or her, they obviously were wrong with their predictions. I think everyone can be very relaxed about it.

More interesting should be what Dan and coworkers will finally do about SHV in terms of futures patches or addons now that are listening again.
