I don't think it's finished. Maybe Ubi won't do another one, but it's a franchise with a well-known name and it has a significant dedicated customer base.

Somebody, sooner or later, will pick it up for another version

Sorry to say,but if Ubi decided not to do another one then I don't believe that anyone will. Sub sims are a niche market and quite frankly,they aren't very big money makers...and that's what companies are looking for these days...big money makers. They would look at Ubi dropping the franchise as a reason NOT to pick it up themselves.

They have to compete with console games which they didn't have to do before. Even MMOs such as AOC are going to be releasing console versions which to me is a bad sign. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if PC games themselves became a niche market in 5-10 years.

The place I buy my games from has like 50 racks of console games...and one rack of PC games...that tells me alot about the state of pc gaming these days.
