Silent Hunter 5 DLCs / Silent Hunter 6 ist SHO is succesfull?

Do you think SHO could be a test to check if there is enough interest in SubSims, and may lead to a "proper" Silent Hunter in the future?

So far Im really underwhelmed by SHO...I mean its a nice "Submarine Game", but no "Sumbarine Sim".

No, it's just Ubi jumping the series into the ftp arena. If they couldn't finish 5 I can't see them sticking another SH game on disc.

What about DLCs? Dont publishers LOVE DLCs? 30 Euro for an IX or something like that?

Nothing new by the way. Remember the old Microsoft Flight Simulator with its 3rd-Party-Planes? They went for the same prize in some instances.

How many people would pay 30 euros for a type IX? 10? 100? 1000? I doubt it.

I'm willing to pay for new airplanes in Rise Of Flight. I don't like the idea of SHO, but if a complete Type II or Type IX could be had in SH5, I'd consider 30 Euros, or even 50, to be a bargain.

Absolutely serious.

I may also be absolutely alone in that. No, never for an online browser game, but to get a serious sim done right? Sure.

NO!

Ubisoft is successful with the "Settlers-Online" F2P browser game.
Ubisoft stated that approx. 2 million users worldwide are playing Settlers-Online, and 5-7% of them are paying users (buying items from the ingame shop for real money). According to Ubisoft CEO this 5-7% are enough to gain provit from the game, because the development- and maintenance costs are many times lower as for a conventional game.
