Hey Ubi, consider this...

I think time is of the essence in this issues which you comment and in which I agree. And Ubi (again?) seems to have missed completely the point that us, their sub-gaming hardcore community are PATIENT, god, we have waited years for their releases, bought their games when we knew they were mostly unfinished, but we want them to go on developing this stuff we love, don't we?

WHY don't they understand, that some more time for developing, some more time (and care!!!) for good printed manuals, and maps, even if it has to be with a higher retail price (most of us have paid 40-60€ or $ or whatever for other releases, they come every two years so they are affordable for most of us) well, all that would make us buy their games. Kids who play shoot'em ups are NOT their public for this series. But they don't get the idea. Offer us all that stuff, offer us an amazing online league (of course there you can set all your anti-piracy controls on and whatnot, as for updates, etc), offer us things that make us want to pay, as you fellows have said.

I own every SH release (except SH5!), I got the collector's edition for SH4, I did all I could to enjoy the series, and also to help the company. But for me this is too much. I don't play SH4 much, since sadly (for me) it has never had the "edge" interest or fun I had with SH3, or even with SH2 and all its early problems...

I feel a sim-orphan now. It's time to take a look again at SH4 mods, and also at some the free projects that are around, slowly growing... Of course those will take long to complete, and are a big work, but there is no EVILNESS behind them.

So for me, SH series end here. What a pity companies are only lead by the ideal of making money (and lately, sucking all the information they can from their users!)

NOTE: This was my rant, and I feel I have the right to express it! :P
