We can ask that in the ubisoft forums. If we could feed just one or two programmers inside Ubisoft to keep patches coming.
I dunno, it's one option. 
Heck, we could also raise a SH5 donation fund too, to have them send out a few more patches |
The problem with that idea is Ubisoft is a Corporation. And corporations exist for only ONE purpose - to make money. Submarine simulations, hell, simulations in general, is not where the money is in gaming these days.
They're not going to spend the time and resources on a nitch genre that will have little return on their initial investment.
Hell, it could be reasonably argued that Ubisoft minimized their initial investment on SH4 and Sh5. Look at how they reused SH3 and SH4 when making SH5. If you look in SH5 files you'll see legacy files from BOTH previous titles. The majority of the drive space used in SH5's installation, is just a needless bloat of resources that arent even being used because they didn't even spend the man hours to clean up the files. They just added to it. Think about that - they didn't even take the time to clean up the files. They did the bare minimum because developer hours equals money spent on production. Honestly, if ubisoft was going to invest into a producing a game, they'll do it on a title that has a much higher potential return.
Take a look at steam's top 10:

See any simulation there? I see mostly FPS's or FPS hybrids.
