Very well put, in the case of Ubisoft management to their credit they did see fit to ressurrect the series in the first place which is a good thing in these "casual games are all" days. Plus I think they did try and make the best subsim possible with SH3 even holding it back for a considerable period to put in a dynamic campaign, also commendable.

Their commitment started to wain a bit with SH4 with tighter budgets and timescales, let's hope they have learned a lesson from SH4 and future games are given the time and resources they deserve to become a quality product. It seems to be a trend for Ubi to reuse the same engine for a couple of titles, i think the same thing happened with "Brothers in Arms". In some ways this is a good thing as SH4 is a solid base to build on and to throw everything away and start again from scratch would be a tremendous waste of resources.

Let's hope the Ubi management feel that way about personnel too as it would be tragic if our committed, passionate devteam were reassigned to something else or not allowed to continue to fulfill our dreams and I think theirs, of the perfect naval simulation.
