Default Silent Hunter a success says Ubisoft

Nice to see that Ubi do actually consider the SH series a "success" maybe the future will be bright after all.

If they keep seeing it as a success, they'll keep putting money into it to pump out new versions!

Do I smell a SH5 out there?

The stock game is one thing, the community efforts to improve that just because they love submarines is another thing!

They don't do that in order to save UBISOFT!

Schroeder be more carefull please or you will never see SH5/6/7!

Either you misunderstood me, or I'm misunderstanding you.

I just pointed out that the community improved an unfinished game constantly. The stock game alone would not be that much of a success (at least that's what I think).
I never said that the community is working for UBI, but UBI is benefiting greatly from the work done here.

Yes, I think you are right especially when you consider even beyond the mods that the latter patches were only developed due to continuous community pressure on Ubi's customer support dept.

Ubi said it was a success? HA! Let me see how this goes now. Ubi releases a very buggy game- check! Then they released a patch which fixed SOME things- Check! Then some smarty pants decided to release 1.5 with U-boats!- check! Did they mention the hard work Mr. Leo and others did to keep the game 'floating'? Personally I believe the reason SH4 is a success is the mods. Period! Ubi should not take any credit, they already have our money!- RANT OVER!

I can only imagine what Dan, Mihai and the rest of the team must think when they read some of the comments in this thread. Hopefully they won't decide that it's really not worth the effort after all.

For all of the senseless ranting at Ubisoft people should remember that they are Ubisoft.

Time for a destroyer command with surface units and battleships and a modern warfare simulator
