Massive Price Drop!

I don't think so I read Neal's review and it seemed pretty dead on non pandering stuff to me.

And as for me a free copy of "Prince of Persia" is hardly enough incentive to have me kneeling at Yves Guillemot's smelly feet!

It's not about the reviews, it's about the number of forum categories related to Ubi's products. The manipulation can be done in a more effective and subliminal way than in some reviews.
I've asked kindly Neal some time ago to think about a potential close collaboration with the devs of Danger From The Deep and he answered me that he needs an email address or something like this for him to be able to make some real contact. I've provided him that information and nothing happened since then. So, it's obvious that a close collaboration with an open source group or a project is not "interesting" ... Instead, we are seeing a lot of volume of the forum categories dedicated to Ubi's products. It's somehow strange, because subsim it's supposed to be a site which also have a forum made and maintained from pleasure, from the heart and it should feel more closely to similar made projects, not to the corporatist ones. Please tell me if you honestly think I am wrong at this one.

Perhaps because Silent Hunter is one of the most played subsim around here?

You can put that the other way around: maybe it's one of the most played JUST because it's so promoted!

Yes. I think there has been a fairly consistent support for indie subsims here and had DTFD been making the same sorts of marked progress as these commercial developments by Ubi, I think it'd feature just as consistently at the front of the site. "Support" and "cooperation" isn't equivalent to pushing - SH5 simply had more development to report on. Just keep in perspective what Subsim is - a marketing department it certainly ain't.

OK, even I was not asking you in particular, but could you please tell me why do you think that?
