Something I've never done before...to buy or not to buy????

I fully understand your dilema. I thought long and hard about it also, but it seems to me that the Publisher (not the Devs) made a business decision to move away from a sim to an arcade game that requires a permanent online connection.

Once they did that, I made a business decision as a simmer not to reward them for their decision.

I will wait at least six months....probably longer....to see what state this game is in at the end of the year. If our excellent modders have managed to recreate the sim feel while keeping the good things about Silent Hunter 5, then I'll happily buy it.

Intelligent and well crafted posts. So refreshing to read in light of the policy of appeasement that most have adopted here - and we all know how successful those policies have been in the past.

And now that same policy has brought us SH5
