Exactly. UBI bashing has to stop IMO. The only big publisher that is still producing a few hard core sims (and might possibly have sometimes lost money over it).
Examples?
IL-2
- good graphics
- big success story
- sequel in the works
LOMAC
- endless development time
- great graphics
- sold badly cause of complexity
SH3
- great game
- short development time
- sales so-so cause it's too special (?)
And all those games are on my harddrive
Well, maybe Microsoft should also be given some credit <ducks in a trench>. Don't forget they published titles like Train simulator, which other publisher would have dared that? Somehow I still hope their current campaign to promote PC-gaming might miraculously include the announcement of CFS4. Though CFS3 sucked badly, CFS2 was really good.
