Am i missing something here? Just asking, is all.
I'm not looking for flame wars here.
Reason i ask is that a fair few are saying that because it has Ubi's logo on it that i will not buy it, or to that effect.
If that's the case, then that's slightly unfair? To them.

I feel like I got burned by Ubi. I bought the early version (v1.1?), then had to buy the "Gold Edition". Of course, there are still problems. In my view, Ubi should not release games, that are so heavily dependant on the efforts of modders. They seem to have the attitude that they are the only game in town, and turning out a fast and cheap product is good enough. I haven't bought SH5, partly because I prefer the PTO, partly because of the DRM thing, but mainly because I anticipate that I would be pulling my hair out trying to play it.

That said, I would still be willing to buy a SH6, if the product was well done. I think a big part of the reason Ubi is so heavily criticised is that we have a succession of failures here. SH4 was a poor job, followed by SH5, a worse one. This does not inspire much optimism.
