marketing guy a: Ok, so we add RPG elements, what else?
marketing guy b: Battlestations pacific was well accepted by gamers, it replaced realism with action and explosions
marketing guy a: Good, so we will tell the developers of Silent Hunter 5 to make the graphics better, add RPG elements and action and explosions to what they already have



2 months later:

developers: OMG this game takes up 10 dvds, and another 500 GBs to install.
marketing people: remove everything, just keep the awesome graphics, RPG elements, action and explosions.

What Ubisoft doesn't realize is that most people who play subsims don't care for all the "awesome graphics, RPG elements, action and explosions"

Quite honestly, with what they gave us with SH5, they should have made a shooter. I remember seeing SH5 in stores not too long ago. I picked it up, looked at it, set it down and walked the other way.
