What we cant insult ubi?

[TDK1044]

I don't think there's ever a need to insult Ubisoft, but I do feel that the time has come to send them a clear message by voting with our wallets. It will have little or no effect on Ubisoft, but it's the only recourse we have.

Looking at the available visual and written information accross many forums over the last two weeks, I'm convinced that we are heading towards an arcade game played on the Ubisoft servers.

with sh4 not so much and it looks like with sh5 we are treated like the red headed step child but maybe it wasnt intentional.


i have no personal knowledge about them but i believe the same applies to the other sub sim games as well so it is important to the relationship subsim has with game makers that produce these games that we are seen as a friend and not out there leading the descent on any game even if it is well deserved.

hope that clears things up.

Thanks a lot, Webster. That cleared it a lot. I was not aware of any "insider privilegies" Neal has with UBI. Good to know that there is such a connection. Even now, in the light of SHV development, it hardly matters, doesn't it? I do not know if the way wishes/requests for SHV from this community were treated (for the most part ignored) intentionally but the result stays the same: SHV is headed towards the disaster if released in its recent stage. It will not sell and that IMO is the end of the road for SH series.

I have followed SHV development with great interest since the rumors started and right now (mere month before its intended release) I have mixed feelings of being angry/disappointed and cheated. Yes, cheated is a good word. We have been kept in darkness about major SHV "improvements" an being spoon-fed bullcrap eyecandy images and videos. I DO NOT CARE ABOUT AN EYECANDY! That's why I still play SH3. What I do care about is playability and (more importantly) re-playability. Without it any game amounts just to it: eyecandy.

If the SHV will be released as intended now (39-43, one sub, DRM, etc) I dare to say that there will be irrepairable damage done to the Silent Hunter series. Not by releasing bad game but by shattering the faith the Subsim members had for UBI.

And that, my friends, goes back to the original SteamWake's statement:"Something about biting the hand that feeds you."
You got it right, mate but from wrong perspective. The saying goes the other way around about who feeds who and who does the bitting: UBI soft gets their hand bitten by Subsim community!!!
Believe it or not, to certain extent, we "feed" UBI by purchasing their merchandise at $59.99 (or so) and if they don't deliver, we won't buy and that's the end of the franchise.


If SHV turns out to be fiasco I personally will be VERY hard to convince to buy SH6. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I doubt that there would be a SH6 and if there was would still have DRM, there are many other game producers out there, if there is a market for sub sims, and there is, then they will make it! might be a good thing!

The guy that could stop this whole ball of wax is the big cheese

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot

Send letters ( snail mail ) to his personal residence. Be kind but get the point across.

Any ideas of this mans address??

If this personal address idea is thought to be a no no on this site then maybe we could PM and email to each other.

I'm not joking for his so called lieutenants will stop your mail cold.

posting anything that has anything to do in reguards to someones personal info will get you a perminent lifetime ban and dont even try it here.

I don't have to insult Ubisoft. They already accomplished that themselves.

They themselves, shot themselves, in the foot.

Reread MY post Webster as I questioned if it was legal and what could be done.
And don't even think of my emailing some another persons address to someone is any of yours nor the sites business, and I'm not referring to any email from this site either.

Jeez you really get on your high horse sometimes.
