Patch 1.3 hysteria. Are we slitting our own throats here?

Yes SH4 needs at least one more patch,but all the hysteria over 1.3 with the threats of lawsuits,the e-mail and phone campaigns and what seems to be attempts at embarassing Ubisoft come across as counter productive to me. And it seems to me that this will guarantee that we never see another sub sim...from Ubi or any other company.

Why should ANY company bother making a sub sim now? What we've shown is that if we don't get what we want,we rant and rave,threaten and harass and generally act like 3 year olds throwing a tantrum...not exactly conducive to ever getting any future sub sims made...by anyone.

What Neal and a few others is doing will get us much further than all the rants and threats ever will. You are dealing with a company and it's stockholders...you aren't dealing with the guy next door. You can't try to threaten and bully a company and expect them to cave in to you. The only way they will listen to you is if you CALMLY explain why a 1.3 patch is needed and what exactly you believe it needs to fix. All the ranting and raving will do is get you ignored and not taken seriously.

We already lost Sonalysts (spelling?) from the sub sim market,do we really want to lose Ubisoft too? Which I can all too easily see happening now.
