Well, maybe then they'd get the hint to start pushing quality products on release rather than after four or five patches and the hope that modders will come through to save the day.

There's a lot of "we must buy this game to keep the series alive!" posts around here, but all that does is give Ubi a license to produce crap. I mean, if you know that people will buy your product regardless of content, you're gonna cut corners aren't you? Now imagine if you are a large capitalist corporation that exists on profit. Not too hard to realise that the blind lemming attitude does no more than hit the buyer, in both enjoyment of the game and the hip pocket.

For the record, I will buy SH5 on release (like I did SH3 and SH4), but I totally understand anyone feeling apprehensive and preferring to wait. That's not a reflection on them, mind you, but on the damage that Ubi does to its own reputation through releasing incomplete games that go "unpunished" by lemming buyers.
