But thats the thing Marhkimov, because most SH3 players DONT play online and UBI didnt enable a SOLID online feature too SH3 is why we say it WILL die off and why it never SOLD that well. And thats the bottom line, for UBI to keep making SH versions it NEEDS to be a market success, atm sh3 is a finacial flop. How long do you think any company will keep flogging a dead horse ?
I dont know the total figures for SH3 sales but I do know it went to the Bargin bin very very quickly, a sure sign the game did NOT do well regards sales. There was even reports that some store's could not even give it away. Now I'm not bashing SH3 just stating hard cold economical facts, if a game does not sell well its soon passed over for greener pastures. That will include any Ex Packs or later versions. It wouldnt surprise me at all if SH4 was the LAST SH version ever if sale figures followed SH3 figures.
To stop this from being the last ever SH version, any means to increase sales MUST be taken into account. 1 of those is a Solid Onliner capability with diverse player interaction and should not be over looked.
To achieve this it will require Head to Head contest (Player V's Player) and the only way thats gonna happen is if some play with surface units whilst other use the subs - ie: DC2 (or better)
