Hes been assigned to find out who stole the company's credibility.

You mean "new Silent Hunter 5 Community Developer", here.

Just another dude who knows nothing about his company nor SH5:

Quote:

- Ubisoft has not officially dropped support for Silent Hunter 5
- No future patch has been announced yet.

Well that was a fun thread to read. I would not want to be in sorlim's shoes right now.

Iron Budokan · 07-06-10, 01:45 PM

Haha, yeah, he's not getting much love over there.

I read one thing most posters said in common. "Ubisoft not communicating with Paying customers."

How hard is it to say a patch is forthcoming, but no definate release date.

But it is going to happen.

That alone could ease some tension.

Poor guy! I hope he has the skin of an elephant.

Yeah!

Why is it so hard to answer this:

Yes, Silent Hunter 5 is still being supported by Ubisoft Romania and there will be at the very least a "final patch" for the game, details of which will be coming within 1 month. Thanks for your patience.

Or

No, Silent Hunter 5 is no longer being supported by Ubisoft Romania and there will not be another patch for the game nor any possible add-on in the future. Thanks for your past support.

Or perhaps they don't have any plan at all.

Poor guy. They threw him into a rabid dog pound while wearing milk bone underwear.

If they say so, Ubisoft would have been under pressure to develop a new patch, but with complete silence, they must not even think about a new patch.

Yesterday the German news magazine "Der Spiegel" did an interview with Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot. Guillemot makes it again quite clear, the new Ubisoft marketing strategy will be the Ubisoft-Launcher, massive multiplayer online games and new game concepts for the new motion sensors.

I'll get back with you on that.

Thanks for the link! That sounds like Ubisoft is really heading away from PC platform games, at least the single player ones. I don't think there is much to expect from them in the future anymore, but maybe they will sell the Silent Hunter label to one of the smaller developers that already focuses on highly detailed realistic simulations and strategy games. There's quite a few of those successful studios right now. (The market can't possible be that small? What is the definition of "small" or "niche" for people that claim simulations and strategy to be a niche? Anything that doesn't sell 1M units on the release date is niche? -- Just some spontaneous thoughts. There is nothing you can't do if you change definitions....)

EDIT: As a side note, in the interview YG says himself that they were disappointed that their OSP-DRM didn't work well in the beginning and it lead to
the server outages. Nice, so much about DDOS attacks.

Wow, whose bright idea was it, to bring this person in with no new information for the community? Did someone lose a bet and had to jump into the Piranha pool? It only took 20 posts for the new "Community Developer" to start losing it, and get confrontational:

"I am not Superman.

And who said I wasn't taking this whole matter seriously? You're the one saying it is a joke."

Bring out the popcorn, the party has started...
