You're making too many assumptions.

The execs at Ubi had nothing to do with the campaign ending in '43. The dev team decided it and for no evil reason other than to focus on the first part of the game and deliver a superior experience depicting it. We felt that 43' - '45 requires a lot of attention from us to do properly, esp. in the context of the dynamic campaign.

Now you will say we have failed - maybe - but don't assume evil intentions behind it.

Thanks, Dan. There's nothing like a word from someone who knows the whole story.

It looks like I cannot say anything without putting my damn foot in my mouth. I think I will go back to lurking, since I am obviously not doing any good.

Don't. We all say it the wrong way sometimes, and need to learn to take the bad with the good. If I had a dollar for every time I apologized on these forums for saying something amiss...well, I wouldn't be rich but I would have the new computer I keep whining about.

Stick around, swallow your pride, say something good and let us enjoy your company. You'll do it again, and so will I, and so will everybody else.

Thanks, Steve.

I guess I am just bent out of shape because I expected so much and am disappointed with what we got, instead.

I understand. I guess I'm lucky because I refused to buy it until the DRM was gone, and now it's almost two years later, and I've read all the complaints only to buy it and find it's not nearly as bad as I expected. In fact, while it's not quite my cup of tea yet, with all the mods it's actually pretty good if you take it for what it is and don't compare it with something it's not.

The ones I feel sorry for in all this are Dan and his team. Sometimes things just don't work out like you plan them, and they're the ones caught in the middle of it all. Maybe they made some mistakes, and maybe they were the victims of outside pressure. I don't know and don't really care. They deserve better than what they've recieved.

I'm not blaming you for complaining. It's your right and your duty to complain. I'm just venting.

I feel the same way about the DRM. What got me was the fact that the TDC doesn't act properly and much of the UI is counter-intuitive. I really cringed when I hear "Rudder right 180 degrees" during a hard turn because of the nonsensical nature of the call.

I already have a laundry list of issues and bugs I have seen in the game, but I am certain that these have already been mentioned at some time. I can only hope for a mega-patch before it is all over with.

I thought that Ubi cut off the funds to continue the game... now i know it for sure, thanks elanaiba .
