comments like this are very uncalled for.
while subsim has often had possitive things to say about sh5 they certainly have no axe to grind and stand to gain nothing by missleading anyone.
while i think neals comment of sh5 failure is caused by the fans sounded unfair because the "fans" didnt ask for or create the DRM which was the reason it had such bad sales so the largest blame for failure goes to THAT.
but i think he was refering to the great negativity expressed about the game which i agree is probably the thing that killed any desire ubi may have had to continue support if that is indeed what has happened.
EDIT:
heck here in the USA they just reported this when Apple released its new gadget phone:
only 60% of the US has high speed internet or slightly slower connections
25% have dial-up connection only
15% of the US market has no cable or internet connection other the DSL where available
so that means only 60% of the USA had the possibility to be a customer if they wanted too. now thats an old can of worms but making your product unusable to half your potential customers is what killed sh5 IMO
NOTE - (i may be slightly off on the percentages but if i am its not by much)
