Many of the game's features where not even implemented when the manual had to be finished. That's why many "screenshots" in the manual are actualy design mock-ups done in Photoshop (e.g. Crew management screen).
In short, it's called greed and greed dehumanizes people (and ruins perfect games like Silent Hunter).
It's plain wickedness to not have let Silent Hunter shine out of the box and be a contender for the game of the year, the way SH3 was.
It was only the quality of the dev team that managed to get these results in such a short time  . |
I can appreciate your frustration and I believe it to be true, that the game you put your time into developing would have easily been the Simulation Game of the Year and possibly Game of the Year if given adequate time for a realistic release schedule.
That said, I really like that you have been visiting us on a regular basis. No other game I've ever purchased, have the developer(s) been this pro-active.
It is a great game. I believe as a developer you deserve better than what you have recieved from Ubi management.
Kudo's to you maerean_m 
Thank you for your time and commitment. |
For what it's worth, maerean_m, I agree |
Ditto, ditto. I admire your courage to come out and publically call it like it is.
