I don't want a patch #3 at this point - I do want the SDK for the game though!!

Let's face it... Ubisoft is a joke at this point. They even had extra time to fix and address several crucial issues in SH5 and patch #2 didn't even come close to delivering.

At this point I think we should be given the SDK for the game instead of any future failures and disappointment. Why is it that Bethesda has the balls to release the SDK with their biggest selling games like Morrowind, Oblivion, and Fallout 3, but UBI won't release the SDK with any of their game titles?

Furthermore, this is most likely the last Silent Hunter game they will ever release. Their sales for SH5 were way below what they were hoping for. They couldn't even give this abysmal piece of trash away at this point.

Releasing the SDK for the game wouldn't make a difference to them. The engine for the game is dated and if they ever did decide to make a SH6 they would need a brand new engine to support it. They would have to push the envelope on graphics and immersion like they did with SH3 to get any serious attention/buyers. SH3 - SH5 is too much of the same with only a few differences. The sad part is that SH3 (the first game built on this engine) is the better version of all three.

Instead of petitioning for patches and making wish lists for SH5, we should be demanding for the SDK. At least the mod community would have an easier time achieving the goals that most of us are looking for. They've got to have the tools to be able to get it done though. Right now they are working with forks when they should be working with wrenches.

SDK - Software Development Kit *aka* All the tools needed to build, tweak, and improve the game.
