I stand by every word of it. The only thing that makes anyone here defend Ubisoft in any way at all is the fact that they are the only Publisher currently producing a sub sim.

But is Silent Hunter 5 really a sub sim? Or is it an Arcade Game that can be modded to add more realism?

We have gone from this Publisher throwing buggy, unfinished games onto the market, to the same Publisher throwing a buggy, unfinished, inaccessible DRM arcade game onto the market.

How hard does Ubisoft have to laugh in our faces before we walk away? This game is not targeted at anyone connected to this Forum or any Forum like this one.

I think that anyone who paid $49 for this game is out of his mind. The writing was on the wall months ago. An arcade game is worth about $10, and this one will be found in bargain bins for that amount in about 6 months time.

I hope Ubisoft continues to patch it, but they might just walk away from it. I hope the modders continue to attempt to mod it. Somehow, I doubt it.
