I simply point you here

Under that logic Subsim could never give a negative game review.

an honest in depth review is one thing.

a full on boycott war is a total other issue

But SubSim wouldn't be waging such a war.

No more than subsim is waging a war against 'political party x' when
someone in General Topics says people shouldn't vote for them.

Subsim is Ubisoft's bitch.

I don't see any significant reason to boycott the game.
I'll buy it

JU_88 · 01-26-10, 06:50 PM

Maybe its because boycotts of this kind simply dont work anyway.

Look at it though Ubis eyes.

There have been calls to 'boycott' just about every new release on every forum of every sucessful game franchise where expectations are high. Whats going on here with SHV is no different.

Even if a Publisher the size of Ubi really wanted to pay attention to our little niche (0.1% of the market) corner of the web, a boycott would be unlikely to phase them.
If someone is not going to buy a product then they will not be staging a protest to see improvements made to it.
Boycott threats just means you care, it even demonstrates you are fanatical, which probabaly means you are still going to buy it anyway.
And even if you dont... the other 99.9% will so its no big deal.

IMHO, Indifference and non-intreast would scare a Large Publisher a hell of alot more than a protest.
In the creative industries a bad reaction is better than no reaction.

Not allowed? you don't get it?

Ok, no offence to anyone here, but all this sounds so silly to me.

I really don't think it's about Ubisoft, I think it's about any publisher/developer of any submarine simulation.

What I understand from subsim.com is that it promotes, shares and give news about any submarine simulations.

If I was the owner of this site and if I wanted this place to grow, I don't think it would be very clever to be associated with a boycott of any publisher/developer (it could be hard later on to have some privileged info...).

BTW it's not like if there were so many submarine simulations on the market right now...

AOTD_MadMax · 01-26-10, 08:10 PM

Wow,

nearly the same discussion like in german forum.

I will buy it to get the full information about the crap.
We need a base, more arguments for being active in things like "boykott" !

At this time the informations are not tight enough for this "nuclear weapon".
I agree with Neal.
But when it is tested out, one week after release, we have this option if SH5 is more crap we think about it yet.
The only thing we have to do is wait cause the time is working for us, not for the devs.
They have to work against the time............

Best Regards
