I finally understand why hate SHV and the devs

Actually I should go back and edit my post to ask do we think they do it "just" for money only. Cause they do thier jobs for their pay like any of us, but I know there has to be a lot of love involved cause this genre cant draw the large audience that so many others might.

We are a rare breed in the PC game world, and I have to think that both UBI and the good folks who work for them have to have a passion for it or they wouldnt even approach it to begin with.
Now given the narrow audience that the SH series attracts, it simply cannot generate the kind of income that would allow a long development period or a large budget.

So how's this, what if the devs had been given more time to finish it and it didn't launch for another three months instead of when it did?
Thats right, everyone would be in here stomping up and down yelling, where's the game man? Whaddya guys doing twiddling yer thumbs?
You promised, you promised...............and what happened to march 4th?

In the end they are darned if they do, and darned if they dont. They just cant win.
So I say give them some respect for doing the very best they can.
