A problem with minimum specs

I kinda agree with you, but let's remember that we in the subsim Forums represent about 3 percent of total sales based on the Silent Hunter 3 figures. The vast majority of the other 97 percent pick up the box in a retail store and buy it because it would be fun to play a WWII submarine game. To those people, the minimum specs on the box means 'my machine will play this game with no problems'.

Most of those folks have no concept of patches, mods, driver upgrades etc. All they know is that they have what it says on the box, and they purchase based on that fact.
