Remember that Ubisoft is both the publisher and developer of SH4.
A company that releases a broken product and refuses to fix it doesn't deserve to stay in business. Customers should be actively trying to get such a company out of business because for every large company that serves its customers poorly there are always two or three companies overshadowed by such a company who want to serve the customer better, and they will hire devs who do good work (so Ubi devs won't go hungry) and hopefully they'll avoid publishers who serve the customer poorly. |
Well, all I can say is that I hope you're right in that. Fact is that the simulation market - or the simulation offerings - has taken a big hit and has become a niche market amongst all those FPS, console games, Online RPGs and moronic "Sims" computer games. In a way, I agree very much that you should not allow mediocre products being put on the market just because you are afraid to not get anything else. On the other hand, it might just be like that. I don't know. I just know that Microprose, SSI, Ocean, DiD, Digital Integration, Jane's, etc. are all gone already. There's not much left. All hail to anyone taking up the torch to run with it, but I don't see any indication for this happening anytime soon.
