You cant just ignore what happens behind the scenes when you judge a person.-----i didn't judge ANYONE ! i judge only the final product which is ,in this case, the sh5 .i am pointing my words to Dan becuase it happens to be the leader manager of sh5 . i have nothing to say for the personality of Dan becuase i ,also like you, believe that Dan is a great guy !
Dan was NOT the producer or Project Manager, so you are really barking up the wrong tree here and that is my point.
I think you should consider that getting the fixes in place that you mention (which are very valid) is outside the influence of Dan.----are they?
YES. These things are not decided by team members, but management.
Can it be the case that Dan have already pointed out these errors?----do you believe that Dan asked these things to be corrected and it didn't happened?
Yes, that I believe, but thats just my guess.
Do you honestly think that its Dans choice to use DRM?----never said anything about drm.i ,personally, don't believe that this is a sh5's problem at all !
DRM is an example of what could have been pointed out by Dan as a member of team - thats how these things usually works.
The devs have used a lot of their spare time in the mods forums to help out - what does that tell you? Could it be that they care about the game?----no ,it doesn't show that they care...giving SOME 'tips' here and there (basically through pms?-i don't know) is not solving problems.and why ...if this is their job?for me, 'care' means to give me solutions ...polished ...solutions.
If they didnt care, they wouldnt have spent their free time in the mods forum. That they did - activly through posts etc, shows clearly that they DO care.
Could it be that its not their choice when to release a game and make the decision when its ready for release?----sure it is not their choice but still the final product has their sign on ! and where is your sign....there is your responsibility.
The responsebility end with the Project manager and producer. Do you really expect a programmer or game designer to have ANY direct influence?
The list goes on...
I think it takes a lot of guts to come here and be a part of these discussions and to admit to their part in the state of the game.----yes ,it takes... guts to admit things but what is after this? ok ,we admited our faults.... what's then ? ...nothing? wouldn't be more fair ,for the people that paid for it , to start correcting the admited faults?
To be able to correct, you first need the owner of the game (Ubisoft management) to accept your scope, budget and plans - a dev team, cant do anything without the management accept

I have working more than 5 years in a big IT company and know a great deal about how things like this works.
If the people who makes the decisions are not with you - you cant do anything...
My advice to you - meant in the best possible way - is to check you facts and logic. I know you are frustrated, but be carefull where you point your fingers...
