Default another customer gone

well this is my 2 cents,

i am not a teen player jumping between the console and the pc i am a 37 year old electrician and i if i wired a house the way that this game was pushed out, unfinished in 1 day and expecting the home owner to finish the wiring(game code),put on their own coverplates(game options) and install their own main breakers(glitches, ai behavior problems, ctds,) not only would i have to refund the customers money, id probably get sued for shoddy workmanship, and have my licence revoked by the electrical inspector when i put my money down on the table, i expect a product that works as advertised,or a service that is satisfactory to me, the customer

ubisoft , in my opinion has not met these standards. if this product were a car,or a tv for example ther would need to be recall notices issued, yet we do not have this option with software.

i do hope they made some money off this game,because they will probably need it.
my age bracket is in the majority of the demograpic band,and i say will will not be buying from this particular company again, nor will i purchace this companies products for my children

maybie someday some other company will put out a subsim that is complete, entertaining,and worth the money i put into it

goodbye ubisoft you just lost another customer

If wiring a house was even 1/1000th as hard as coding, then you'd have more electrical problems.

There is probably more lines of code in the main menu of a PC game than wires inside of an average office building.

Because of the complexity of a modern game, you get bugs. Some games have fewer bugs, some have more.

You have to laugh. The flawed car analogy and the "you just lost another customer" chestnut in the same post.

It's a classic indeed in more than that. Check out post #32 in this thread:

Sound familiar?

I wish people would email ubisoft these types of posts, really. Posting here does nothing but increase signal to noise ratio.

I remember when they made games and had to mail patches to customers on 5.25" floppies! Harpoon 1 anyone? I'm not making excuses for the sad release state of SH4 but some people just don't know how good they got it these days between the interweb and its tubes and all the mod makers fixing bugs, not to mention such a fine community forum for a game such as subsim.

I cannot see anyone else willing to give subsim games a go . Good on ubisoft for giving us SH4 . Bad on ubisoft for giving us an unfinished (praying for another patch) product . BTW have you tried Ducimus,s FTT before giving it the ass .
