I read through the thread over at UBI. I see smoke and mirrors....

If they say so, Ubisoft would have been under pressure to develop a new patch, but with complete silence, they must not even think about a new patch.

Yesterday the German news magazine "Der Spiegel" did an interview with Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot. Guillemot makes it again quite clear, the new Ubisoft marketing strategy will be the Ubisoft-Launcher, massive multiplayer online games and new game concepts for the new motion sensors.

I feel bad for this poor guy. He is going to be taking the heat for decisions made WAY above his head. I don't even think the A team could help this guy out. However, James Bond may be able to help him get some real information from Ubi.

I think this great Charles Durning song and dance clip sums up the situation:



"Was that a yes or a no?" "It's a possible maybe..."

sorlim..... "community developer" ...... Hello, captains! .... ¿?

WTF!!!

STOP UBI of making fool of us. ENOUGH!
What kind of joke is this? It´s incredible! Where is the final point to this tragedy?
It´s like you have been robbed and days passed, the thief calls you by phone making fool of you and asking how do you feel...
If Ubi mistreat customers(people who pay them) like that... I can´t imagine how their workers(people who charge them) are being treated... Well, I can and Human Rights Defenders would have something to say I guess.
so poor sorlim! He is nobody and is going to do nothing. "It" is the same useless moderator with other name I think. Sure! Cosmic pure void he is, nothing more.
Who cares he/she/it is talking about.

I hope one day in the future... a group of crazy,dreamer guys that love subsims(maybe old SH gamers) try to make a new sim, maybe only for fun at first...
Who Knows.

My money and me are waiting.

Well, the only new thing he's posted is that he wants a hot secretary. Certainly nothing new about the game.

He starts off well enough: "I will answer as many questions as I can in this thread" but very quickly sinks: "I'd love to have a definitive answer to your question but I simply do not at this moment", "Unfortunately, I am not bearer of good news. Actually, I'm not the bearer of any news right now!" and "A decision has not been made until now IF a patch will be release OR IF no future patch will come".

Seems like nothing more than what Kleeneasy and Shades have been sprouting for months.

Well, the good thing is ... he's there. It's not by accident.

Of course he doesn't have any news right now. Part of his job I guess is to work so that in the future there is news

How convenient Dan - when Ubisoft run out of ideas for saying nothing, they bring in a new guy and hide behind the excuse that he's new, so doesn't know anything, thus why he doesn't have any answers. That buys them extra time to say nothing, or hire a hot secretary.

Great ploy.

Of course you can look into everything I say and turn it around to suit an attack, and maybe "we" deserve it.

But it's not my ploy, and its not how I work. In truth I don't think its anyone's ploy, the guy is saying as much as he can in a politically correct form.

My estimate is that you won't get any information from him for a time, but he will get a lot of information from the forums, while also trying to do the 2nd thing he is paid for - crowd control. Kind of hard to do that at this point and in the current situation, as many of you have correctly remarked.

In all fairness Dan - the crowd control wouldn't be needed had UBI been honest and up-front from the start.

The months of silence has created a fairly angry mob...

I didn't say it was your ploy; not sure why you got so defensive there.

Ubisoft, on the other hand...
