thats just what I would say if it were me.

However, when people start talking "boycott" on a product that they have never even gotten hands on, we have a problem.

now if Ubisoft came out and said

"Our game discs will be made of 100% pure crushed eagle beaks and baby seal bones. and the pages of our manuals will be written by child slave labor."

the whole "boycott" argument might have some legs to stand on.

but just because a company tries to protect its own rights by some means that we dont necessarily agree with, or because some content we really wanted didnt make it into the final build... those are some pretty stupid reasons to start picketing Ubisoft HQ

before release, we would already have read that official review you
place so much importance on.
and what source do you have that says they wont provide us with one?

we are a month out or more

what source do you have that says they HAVE a review ready copy for subsim?

what makes you think subsim.com is entitled to a review copy??? (no offense to Neal)

Just because these things are not important to you, doesn't mean that
other peoples grievances are "stupid".

true, but I learned very young in life that you dont always get what you want.... nor do you always get exactly what you thought you were going to get.

All im saying is walking into the SH5 forum is like walking into an out of control kindergarten class room.

Some of the kids are merrily playing with the building blocks or coloring, the rest are crying and stomping up and down because of a hundred different reasons.

it only takes five seconds to sit up straight and tall, and say to yourself "Im going to be a grown man about this and reserve my judgements until all of the evidence is available."

sadly, thats WAY too much for some folks to do.

Wow. Over-reacting much?

I can perfectly well understand why Subsim is shutting down stupid "boycott" threads, and Subsim is a private forum, free to be run as it pleases the owner.
