Or, did those games, especially SH4 and 5, see the light of day mainly because Ubisoft knows they have a valuable resource and decided to utilize it? I imagine there is a big fixed cost in getting educated about the millions of historical details a sub simulation like SH3-5, and now that the FC has been invested, Ubi thinks they should keep it invested....

Just a thought.....

I think that is very likely the truth of the matter. Someone in Romania clearly loves making subsims (and is bloody good at it) and i think their talent is being wasted working for Ubi.

I feel sorry for that dev team because if they are emotionally attached to the subsim genre then they must be at wits end with how the release and post-rlease has been handled.

You know this so reminds me of how music publishers treat their artists and why companies like EMI are today on their last legs.

Time for devs to start removing the chains that bind them.
