I think the point was that whatever your pet issue is with SH IV, you'll get better results with mature, courteous, well thought out suggestions/requests than you will with a bunch of whining, bitching, complaining, and demanding.

Because guess what? Ubi could just tell us to F off, no more patches, they're done, no game/sim is perfect, deal with it. SH IV is the top-selling sim in America, most buyers won't even notice the things we all are obsessed with.

But they don't do that, do they? They work directly with this forum, their end users, to make the product better.

Maybe on some level, we're paying to be Beta testers for a while while the bugs are worked out, but that beats the crap out of no sub simulators at all, now doesn't it? All of us players can find a lot more bugs a lot faster than a small group of testers can.

REALITY CHECK: Ubi have already made their money - the fact that they are willing to keep working with us (read: keep spending more of their money on improving the game) speaks volumes about their commitment to the military sim genre. I have, and will continue to support this, until another company comes along and makes the same kind of games, only much better. Haven't seen too many other sub sim publishers making WWII sims who are still around.

Don't know about anyone else, but I kind of like seeing Ubi put these things out every few years - I've had more than a few hours of fun with them. I'd like to see them continue to succeed, rather than cut off my nose to spite my face.
