Was It This Bad?

Consumers need to remember AGAIN that they dictate the terms on a purchase.

Not the seller. Not if they want to make a sale.

GM is learning that. So is Chrysler and now Toyota.

It's about time a Game co figures that out if they want to stay alive.

This is only true where there is competition. Last time I looked nobody else is producing graphic intensive and moddable submarine games.

Monopoly's essentially own the market and the consumer can like it or lump it.

I intend to lump it...

Lumping it is the competition.

I was not around for release of SH 3 or 4, I imagine the only real controversy was the switch from U boats to US fleetboats, for the U boats guys anyway.

DRM is the big issue, just wrong on so many levels.

Wasn't here for 3's release, but we didn't have much time to bitch before SH4 came out...

If I recall the process was something like 6 months of:

"No way will they make a 4th.. no money in it.."

"Hey I hear they are gonna make a 4th."

"Confirmed they are making a 4th!"

(Insert various sausage vs ice cream fights here)

"OMG it's gone Gold already!?!"

"I just played it...."

There did seem to be a division after SH4.
