Sonalysts make military grade sims, so marketing for mass exposure isn't really their thing, just as with eSIM games and their Steel Beasts. What you don't realise is that these games didn't seem to threaten the existance of the company, so they weren't a wasted investment. They sold enough to cover costs and make a bit. This is what i'm talking about: Sonalysts and eSIM didn't have a big publisher to promote their wares. UBI CAN promote SH, so even a half finished SH can be sold off as the greatest thing since sliced bread because there's no room for anyone else at the moment. If UBI buggers off to the console market, you'll see a new WW2 sub sim come cautiously into the light within a year or two.
